Ingredients

For the Dough

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/2 cup ice water

For the Filling

12 mini sausages
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)

These ingredients will create a delightful snack that everyone will love.

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, stirring until the dough comes together.

Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Roll Out and Cut the Dough

After chilling, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into strips, approximately 1 inch wide.

Wrap the Sausages

Take each mini sausage and wrap it with the dough strips in a woven pattern. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the wrapped sausages with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

Pigs in a Quilt Woven Dough are best served warm, fresh out of the oven, showcasing their flaky, golden crust. Pair them with a variety of dipping sauces such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or a zesty ranch dressing to enhance the flavor experience. This variety allows guests to personalize their bites, making each one a delightful adventure.

For a complete meal, consider serving these tasty morsels alongside a fresh salad or vegetable platter. The combination of crispy dough and savory filling pairs wonderfully with light, refreshing sides, creating a balanced and satisfying meal.

Storage Tips

If you have any leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until they are warmed through and regain their crispiness.

For longer storage, consider freezing the wrapped sausages before baking. Simply assemble them, place on a baking sheet, and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. When you're ready to enjoy, bake them directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time for a quick and easy snack.
