Styler lifestyle project editor Kateryna Sobkova shared a quick recipe for making mini sausages in dough using an air fryer, with the whole process taking about 20 minutes. To prepare the homemade dish, the author kneaded dough using warm milk with the addition of eggs, sugar, and yeast without a prolonged preliminary rise. This express method allows skipping the traditional long proofing time of yeast pastry and moving straight to shaping the items.
Peculiarities of Dough Preparation and Shaping
To create the base, warm milk is mixed with yeast and sugar, followed by eggs beaten with a fork, salt, and gradual addition of flour. A small amount of oil is also used during kneading, and the dough itself is kept soft so it is easy to roll out. The finished piece of dough is rolled to a thickness of about 3-4 millimeters and cut into elongated triangles whose wide end matches the size of the sausages. The sausages are freed from their casing if necessary, placed on the wide edge of the triangle, and carefully wrapped like small croissants.
Secrets of Air Fryer Baking
The formed pieces are brushed with the reserved egg mixture to get an appetizing crust and sprinkled with sesame seeds, then placed in the air fryer basket in a single layer. The author notes an important nuance: you should not try to fit the entire portion at once, as items placed too closely together may stick during thermal processing. The optimal solution is to divide the process into two batches for even air distribution and easier flipping.
Temperature Regime and Cooking Time
Baking is carried out at 180 degrees Celsius for about fifteen minutes, after which the items are carefully flipped and baked for another five minutes or so. This approach is due to the operational features of the appliance, where the top crust browns faster than the bottom part of the products. Before serving, it is recommended to check the doneness of the dough at the bottom and near the filling, and serve the sausages warm, complemented by your favorite sauce.
Practical Significance of the Quick Recipe
The proposed express method demonstrates how modern kitchen gadgets like air fryers help significantly reduce the time needed to prepare familiar homemade baked goods. The absence of the need to wait long for the dough to rise makes this option convenient for a quick snack, breakfast, or treating guests without extra kitchen hassle.
