Summary

Ingredients

For the dough:

• Flour – 420 g
• Sugar – 30 g
• Milk – 200 ml
• Butter or margarine – 30 g
• Fresh yeast – 15 g or dry yeast – 5 g
• Egg – 1 pc.
• Salt – 0.5 teaspoon

For filling and decoration:

• Sausages – 4 pcs.
• Raisins – 0.5 tbsp
  To grease buns:
• Yolk – 1 pc.
• Water – 1 teaspoon

Instructions

1. First of all, make a dough for the dough. To do this, pour half of the entire milk norm into a bowl, preheating it to 38-40 degrees. Crumble yeast into milk, add a teaspoon of sugar and a tablespoon of flour. Mix everything well.

   

2. Put the dough in a warm place for 15 minutes to let the yeast start working. When the frothy cap appears, you can start kneading the dough.
3. In a large bowl, combine remaining warm milk, softened butter or margarine, remaining sugar, salt, and egg.
4. Whisk the ingredients together and add the brew.
5. Mix everything again.
6. Pour flour in portions, knead the dough.
7. Cover the bowl with the dough with a clean kitchen towel and place in a warm place for 1 hour.
8. After an hour, knead the yeast dough on the table sprinkled with flour. The dough is very good and elastic.
9. Divide the dough into 8 pieces.

   

10. Peel the sausages. Cut each sausage in half and cut off the edges, which we also need in the future.
11. Take one piece of dough and roll it into a tape that is half the size of a sausage and about 20 cm long.
12. Place half of the sausage on one end of this rolled dough piece.

    

13. Roll the roll so that the sausage is inside and visible from both sides.
14. Cut the roll of dough and sausage in half across and place the cut up. There will be two future buns. Thus, from 8 pieces of dough, 16 rolls will be obtained.
15. Use your hand to lightly press the dough around the sausage so that it protrudes slightly above it.
16. Transfer the future rolls to a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Prepare the rest of the buns this way. When placing them on a baking sheet, leave some space between the buns, as they will increase after baking.
17. Cut the cut edges of the sausages into 32 quarters. Attach them to the buns, simulating ears. Make “eyes” with slices of raisins, and squeeze holes in the sausages with a cocktail tube to make “piglets”.
18. Lubricate the buns with egg yolk mixed with 1 teaspoon of water.

    

19. Bake the piglet buns in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
20. Piglet buns are ready. Let them cool and serve.

Bon Appetit!
