Sausage in dough in the oven
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. Use puff pastry or puff yeast dough along with any type of thin sausages, even slightly smoked ones. To ensure they cook faster, preheat the oven beforehand and don't wrap the sausages too tightly with dough, otherwise the inside won't cook through. Don't forget to brush the pastries with beaten egg, egg yolk, or milk—this will give them a golden, nicely browned crust. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Step 3
Place a sausage at the end of each strip and pinch to seal, wrapping the dough around the sausage from bottom to top, overlapping each strip over the previous one, and pinch to seal at the top. If a strip is too short, attach another one and continue wrapping until the entire sausage is covered. Wrap all sausages in dough this way. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

Brush each one with beaten egg using a pastry brush, making sure to cover the sides of the pieces as well. Remove any egg drips from the baking sheet if they fall there, to prevent burning during baking.
