cocktail sausages

🥗Healthier: chicken sausages

💰Cheaper: hot dogs

Chicken sausages are leaner, while hot dogs are often more affordable.

Mix 440 grams of bread flour, 110 grams of whole grain wheat flour, 33 grams of sugar, and 11 grams of salt in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined.

Add 110 grams of sourdough starter, 2 large eggs, and 220 grams of milk to the flour mixture and mix until the dough comes together.

Knead the dough on the kitchen counter until cohesive.

Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it, and let it rest for 1 hour.

Cube 110 grams of salted butter while the dough is resting.

After 1 hour, flatten the dough and knead in the butter cubes until fully incorporated, using a plastic scraper to manage the mess.

Once the butter is worked into the dough, place it in a proofing container and let it rise by 50% in a warm place for about 5.5 hours.

Divide the risen dough into 4 equal pieces and shape each into a ball, then let them rest for 20 minutes on the counter.

Flour the counter liberally and flatten a dough ball, rolling it into a circle about 20 centimeters (8 inches) in diameter.

Divide the circle into 8 pieces using a pizza cutter, add ketchup if desired, place a hot dog in the center, and roll it up, ensuring the flap is underneath.

Place the rolled hot dogs seam-side down on parchment-lined baking sheets, filling two sheets with all 32 hot dogs.

Brush each roll with egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Cover the baking sheets with plastic wrap and let them proof in a warm place for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit) with convection; if not using convection, preheat to 220 degrees Celsius (430 degrees Fahrenheit).

After 1 hour, remove the plastic wrap and place the baking sheets in the oven.

Bake for about 7.5 minutes, then rotate the sheets and continue baking for another 7.5 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool or serve immediately with condiments.
