Sausages in dough, a quick pastry snack If you have leftover strips or edges of puff pastry after making pastries, they should not be thrown away. They can be immediately used for a very simple snack: sausages in dough. In this recipe, I used chicken sausages and thawed puff pastry. I wrapped each sausage in a strip of dough, placed them on a tray, and then seasoned them with salt and pepper. After baking, the dough turns golden brown, and the dish can be served while warm. Quick Info Total time: not specified; depends on preparation and baking time. Preparation time: very short, as long as it takes to wrap the sausages in dough and place them on the tray. Baking time: until the dough turns golden brown, over medium to high heat. Servings: 6 pieces, depending on the number of sausages used. Difficulty: easy. Recipe type: quick snack, appetizer, or a way to use leftover puff pastry. Ingredients Strips of puff pastry, enough to wrap the 6 sausages 6 sausages, I used chicken sausages Salt Pepper For this recipe, thawed puff pastry leftover from other dishes or trimmed from the edges of the sheets is used. No exact amount for the dough is mentioned as it depends on the width and length of the leftover strips. The important thing is that each sausage can be wrapped in dough. Preparation Method 1. Prepare the strips of puff pastry Use thawed puff pastry and cut or tear off suitable strips to wrap the sausages. If the strips come from the edges of the pastry used for pastries, they do not need to be perfect. The recipe is precisely a simple solution to use these leftovers. 2. Wrap the sausages Take one sausage and wrap it in a strip of dough. The dough should cover the sausage without needing a special shape or specific pattern. Repeat until all 6 sausages are ready. 3. Place them on the tray Put the wrapped sausages on a tray. Arrange them so they are not crowded, if you have enough space. There is no need to complicate the preparation; once they are on the tray, just season and bake. 4. Season Sprinkle salt and pepper over the dough. The amount is determined to taste. The sausages are already seasoned, so a simple seasoning is sufficient. 5. Bake Put the tray in the oven and leave the sausages in dough over medium to high heat until the pastry turns golden brown. The recipe source does not specify an exact temperature or fixed baking time, so it is more useful to monitor the appearance of the dough. When it is golden brown, the dish is ready. 6. Serve The sausages in dough are served warm as a quick snack. They are especially suitable when you have little leftover pastry and want to use it without preparing a complicated recipe. Why I make the recipe often It is one of the simplest methods to use leftover puff pastry after making pastries. It does not require a separate filling or complicated steps. Basically, a few strips of puff pastry, sausages, salt, and pepper are enough. I also like that the recipe is prepared quickly. The sausages are wrapped directly in the dough, placed on the tray, and go into the oven. For a last-minute snack, it is more practical than keeping leftover pastry without a clear plan for use. Tips and variations Tips Use the dough after it has thawed so that it can be wrapped around the sausages. If it is still frozen, it can break, and if it is too soft, handling it becomes more difficult. The strips of dough do not need to be the same size. The leftover edges from pastries can be irregular, and the dish can still be made that way. The important thing is that the dough covers the sausages. Check the dish towards the end of baking. Since the exact time is not specified, the browning of the dough is the main reference. The heat should be medium to high, according to the original recipe. Salt should be added in moderation, especially if the sausages used are already salty. Pepper can be sprinkled directly over the dough before placing the tray in the oven. Substitutions In the original recipe, chicken sausages were used. These can be replaced with any type of sausage you have on hand, keeping the same idea of preparation. However, the final taste will depend on the type of sausage chosen. The dough used is puff pastry. The source does not indicate another category of dough, so to maintain the texture and preparation method of the recipe, it is recommended to stick with puff pastry. Variations The simplest variation is to change the type of sausage. You can keep the same spices and the same method: wrapping, placing on a tray, and baking until the dough is golden brown. Another option is to use different shapes of strips. The sausages can be wrapped lengthwise or with shorter strips, depending on the available leftovers. There is no need for each piece to look identical. If you are preparing multiple servings, keep the same basic proportion: one sausage for each wrap of puff pastry. In this recipe, 6 sausages are used, but the amount of dough remains dependent on the size of the available strips. Serving ideas The sausages in dough can be served as a warm snack or as an appetizer. They are easy to portion since each sausage is wrapped separately. They can be placed on a platter immediately after baking, without any additional preparation. Because the recipe is simple and does not include a sauce or garnish, the taste is mainly given by the sausages, the puff pastry, and the seasoning with salt and pepper. Frequently asked questions Can I use leftover puff pastry from pastries? Yes. This is exactly the situation for which the recipe was made. You can use the edges or strips of thawed puff pastry that are left after cutting the pastries. What type of sausage is used? In the original recipe, chicken sausages were used. You can keep this type or use another type of sausage, noting that the final flavor will be different. At what temperature do they bake? An exact temperature is not specified. The recipe indicates an oven set to medium to high heat. The sausages should be left until the dough is browned. How long should they stay in the oven? A fixed baking time is not mentioned. The duration depends on the oven, the size of the strips of dough, and how the sausages were wrapped. As a reference, the dish is ready when the pastry is browned. Can I prepare the recipe without seasoning? Yes, but the original recipe includes salt and pepper. If the sausages are already salty enough, you can reduce the amount of salt, but pepper and salt contribute to the simple flavor of the dish. Nutritional values The values below are estimates and cannot be calculated precisely, as the amount of puff pastry is not specified, and the exact type of sausage may vary. For one piece, calculated as one sausage wrapped in a moderate amount of pastry, the estimate can be: Calories: approximately 180-260 kcal Protein: approximately 6-10 g Carbohydrates: approximately 10-18 g Fats: approximately 11-19 g Salt: variable, depending on the sausages and the amount added over the dough These values are indicative. A thicker dough or a larger sausage will increase the calorie count and fat content. For an exact calculation, the weight of the pastry, the brand of the products, and the weight of each serving would be needed. Storage and reheating The sausages in dough are best freshly baked while the pastry is browned. If leftovers remain, they can be stored for a short time, but the dough may lose its crispy texture. For reheating, use the oven and heat them until they are warm again. An exact time for this step is not mentioned. Avoid keeping them too long before consumption, as the pastry does not remain as pleasant after cooling and prolonged storage.
