Rye Pigs in a Blanket

I made these for my 5 year old's birthday. The kids loved them because they are perfect for little hands on the go and parents loved that the bread was part rye. I used a good nitrite free organic beef hotdogs cut in half.

You Need:





4 tablespoon butter
2 cups milk
2 oz. yeast
5 oz. greek yogurt
1 lbs 7 oz all purpose flour
5 oz. rye flour
2 teasp salt

12 beef hotdogs

Instructions:
Heat the oven 400 degrees.
Melt the butter in a pot and add the milk. The mixture should be finger warm. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the yeast.
Add the other ingredients (minus a little of the all purpose flour to use for kneading). Mix the dough well, cover the bowl with a tea towel and let it rise for an hour somewhere nice and warm.

put the dough on flour-drizzled work top and knead thoroughly. Cut the dough into 3 portions.

Roll one portion into a circle like a pizza (approx 16" diameter). Smear ketchup on the 2.5" outer edge (see pic).
with a pizza cutter cut circle into 8-10 pieces (depending on the size of your sausages).

Put half a sausage on each piece and roll (start from the wide end).

Set the pigs in blankets on a baking tray with baking paper and let them rise for another 1/2 hr
Repeat with the other 2 portions of dough

Bake in the middle of the oven 20-25 minutes 

Enjoy
