Hong Kong Sausage Roll (Wheatmeal Version) 香港肠仔包

Hello everyone,

I have been missing in action for a super long time and finally picking up with baking after enjoying a baking session with one of my dear friend, Nicole. We baked the Hong Kong sausage roll and it turned out edible but it was a little hard as we didn't let it rest long enough.

Today, I wish to bake sausage roll and improvise it to a healthier version by replacing white bread mix to mixed grain bread mix. I got this sausage roll recipe from Rasa Malaysia.

The ingredients are as follows:

300 gms Mixed grain bread mix
7 gms Allinson Easy Bake Yeast
10 gms sugar
7 gms salt
1 whole egg + whole milk, about 230 gms
30 gms unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 egg white + 2 tsp of water
8 pieces of hot dogs
Small amount of plain flour (for dusting and shaping the dough)

Method:
 
1. Put together half portion of mixed grain bread mix with Allison easy bake yeast, sugar and salt. Combined these ingredients well.
2. After that, add the egg and milk mixture into the bread mixture;  mixing it using a pastry scraper.
3. Slowly add the remaining mixed grain bread mix into the dough and combine well.
4. A soft dough will be formed. Then add in the butter. Once the dough is not sticky anymore, remove the dough from the bowl and knead until it is elastic.
5. Then, put the dough onto a slightly butter bowl/plate and cover it with a cling wrap/damp cloth; allowing it to rest for about 1 to 1.5 hours to double its size.
6. After resting, separate the dough into 8 small portions and roll them into the shape of balls. Leave them to rest for another 10 minutes.
7. Meanwhile, wash and wipe off the excess water on the hotdogs.
8. Put some flour in a clean surface amd hands. Start to roll each small dough into a cylinder form to about 35 - 40cm. Wrap it onto the sausage and make sure that the ends of cylinder is facing down. After wrapping all the hotdogs, cover the sausage buns with a cling film and leave it for about 10 - 15 minutes.
9. While waiting for the sausage rolls to rest for the last time, preheat the oven at 200 degrees. After resting, sweep a layer of egg wash onto the sausage rolls and bake them for 10 - 12 minutes. And you're done!
