Step-by-step: Mini Sausage Bread Rolls
- Whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or knead for 5 minutes in an electric stand mixer with a dough hook attachment until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1½ hours or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread a thin layer of ketchup and mustard over the dough. Cut the dough into strips about 1 inch wide using a pizza cutter or knife. Place a mini sausage or cocktail wiener at the end of each strip and roll the dough around it, sealing the edges.
- Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down, and cover with a towel. Let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- About 20 minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 375°F /190°C/ Gas mark 5.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with an egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds (you can also use poppy seeds or bagel seasoning).
- Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with additional ketchup and mustard for dipping.

Notes
-
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh feta cheese, olives, and garlic will provide the best flavor in your rolls.
-
- Properly Proof the Dough: Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free place until it has doubled in size. This ensures a light and fluffy texture in the finished rolls.
-
- Don’t Overfill: When adding the feta cheese, olives, and garlic to the dough, be careful not to overfill. Too many ingredients can make it difficult to shape the rolls and may cause them to burst during baking.
-
- Evenly Distribute Ingredients: Evenly distribute the feta cheese, olives, and garlic over the dough to ensure each roll has a balanced flavor.
-
- Use a Sharp Knife: When cutting the dough into strips, use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and prevent the dough from tearing.
-
- Twist Gently: When shaping the rolls, twist the strips of dough into coils gently to avoid deflating the dough.
-
- Allow for Proper Proofing: Make sure to allow the shaped rolls to proof for the specified time. This will enable them to rise properly and develop flavor.
-
- Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the rolls until they are golden brown on top. This ensures that they are fully cooked and have a nice crust.
-
- Cool Before Serving: Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
