Servings: Makes 12 sausage pancillos
Ingredients
250g all-purpose flour
3g dry yeast
12g sugar
1 egg
42g butter, melted
125ml warm milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 small sausages
1 egg (for brushing)
Parsley for garnish
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, egg, melted butter, warm milk, and salt. Mix until a soft, uniform dough forms. Knead well until smooth. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 90 minutes. Once risen, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a strip, then wrap it around each sausage. Let the wrapped sausages rest for another 30 minutes. Beat the remaining egg and brush the tops of each roll. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Nutritional and Dietary Notes
These pancillos provide a balanced combination of carbohydrates from the dough and protein from the sausage. The butter and milk add richness and moisture. While delicious, they are best enjoyed in moderation due to the fat and sodium content in the sausage. This recipe contains gluten and dairy and may not be suitable for vegan or lactose-intolerant individuals. For a lighter option, you can substitute lean turkey sausages or plant-based alternatives.
