Remember my baking resolutions for 2013 (I also plan on making these)? Well, I’m happy to report that I’ve already crossed one off the list. I made pretzel rolls, whohoo! Time for the oh so satisfying crossing off of the list… drumroll please –
Much better =)
And I didn’t just make simple pretzel rolls. I made it into a whole dinner for two. I know that Valentine’s week is officially over, but that doesn’t mean that the romantic dinners have to end. Why not try this one – it’s a healthy sausage roll. Perfect for game day or really any comfort food craving.
Sausage rolls are one of those foods I was introduced to when I married a Brit. They’re essentially a high-calorie, high-fat, high-taste party food – sausages wrapped with pastry, baked and then dipped in some kind of sauce. They’re yummy, but they certainly wouldn’t be described as healthy.
Since Rebecca, of Ezra Pound Cake suggested stuffing the pretzel rolls, I thought why not and pulled out my favourite chicken sausages, spinach and light cheese. Yum yum!
First I prepared the dough and let it rise. Then before the second rise, I stuffed it with the goods, sealed the pouches, and left it to rise again.
Now on to the first stage of cooking – boiling the pouches in a baking soda bath.
Once boiled, I shook off as much water as I could and placed the pouches onto an oiled and cornmeal lined tray to bake.
The filling burst out a little, but then I had it…Want to make some too?
I love that you have baking resolutions! What a fun idea. 🙂 Congrats on crossing one off the list!
Thanks Leah

Yay! Congrats on getting one resolution down. And these pretzel rolls look delicious. I love the healthy spin – I won’t have to feel too guilty when I eat most of the batch myself.
Thanks =) They’re totally worth all the waiting and rising.
