Description
Sausage kolaches are a delightful blend of savory sausage wrapped in a soft, fluffy pastry, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a cozy snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground sausage
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine warm milk and yeast, letting it proof for 5-10 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add softened butter and the egg to the yeast mixture, then mix into the flour until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) as the dough rises.
- Roll out the dough and cut into squares large enough to encase the sausage.
- Place a sausage link on each square, fold the dough over to seal, and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve warm.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding shredded cheese or herbs to the sausage before wrapping. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
