Ingredients

  • 50 ml water lukewarm
  • 150 grams Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 25 grams fresh yeast

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt

Instructions

  • Pour the lukewarm water into a large bowl.
  • Add yeast and mix with a fork until dissolved.
  • Top with the yogurt and maple syrup, followed by the egg, salt, and melted butter.
  • Add the flour bit by bit, kneading in between (you want a slightly sticky dough).
  • Knead by hand or using a mixer until smooth.
  • Cover the dough. Let it rise for 1 hour.
  • Roll the dough out on a floured surface. Roll it into a circle (about 1 cm (¼ inch thick).

  • Divide the four sausages into 12 pieces, and top the widest outer section of dough with a piece of sausage.
  • Tuck in the sides and roll like a croissant.
  • Shape the sausage rolls into a heart on a lined baking sheet (or space them out).
  • Cover and let the rolls rise again for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (356℉).
  • Brush the sausage rolls with egg wash or milk.
  • Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
