Lunch: Sausage roll with a twist
Easy to make and eat on the go, try out this DIY sausage roll that does in fact involve sausages, and rolling.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 large eggs
- 4 pre-cooked tinned hot dog sausages (or cook your own)
- Cheese slices (optional)
- Breadcrumbs
- Oil
METHOD
- Flatten your bread with a rolling pin (if you don't have one you can also use an empty bottle or can).
- Crack your eggs into a bowl and mix.
- Roll each slice of bread around a sausage and use the egg to stick the bread together by coating the last edge and pressing down to stick. If you want to add cheese, simply place the cheese slice onto the bread before you start rolling.
- Once all are rolled, coat entirely with the egg mixture before rolling in breadcrumbs.
- Deep fry until golden and crispy and drizzle with your favourite sauces.
Dinner: Cheesy garlic bread bites
These are a great accompaniment to so many meals, from pasta dishes to a hearty chilli con carne. Try your hand at making your own bread - it's easier than you think!
INGREDIENTS
For the dough
- 350g bread flour
- 15g sugar
- 15g milk powder (optional)
- 7g instant dry yeast
- 7g salt
- 200g whole milk (at room temp)
- 1 large egg
- 60g unsalted butter, softened and cubed
For the filling
- 200g shredded mozzarella (you can also use string cheese, cubed)
For the garlic butter
- 60g butter
- 2 large cloves garlic, minced
- 1-2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Pinch of salt
METHOD
1. Prepare the dough
- Add all ingredients except butter into your mixing bowl. Knead on low speed for 10 minutes in a stand mixer or knead with hands until a smooth dough is formed.
- Slowly add the butter one cube at a time while kneading. Once all butter is added, knead for 10-20 more minutes at low-medium speed.
- Proof for 60-90 minutes until doubled in size.
2. Shape the dough
- Once doubled in size, divide the dough into 20 pieces and roll into balls.
- Flatten each dough ball and add cheese to the centre. Wrap dough around the cheese and pinch to seal. 
- Arrange bread bites in a baking pan, seam-side down. Cover and proof for 30 minutes until puffy.
3. Bake:
- Preheat oven to 180ºC.
- Brush bread with egg wash. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare your garlic butter.
4. Make the garlic butter:
- Add butter and garlic to a pot and heat until butter is melted. Simmer for 1 minute.
- Add herbs and salt to taste then remove from heat.
- Brush garlic butter over the bread bites as soon as they come out of the oven.
