How to prepare Sausage in a Blanket
To prepare the sausage in a blanket, start by dividing the leavened dough into 4 equal parts (1.75 oz each) 1, then roll it out with a rolling pin to form a rectangle 2 that can completely wrap the sausage, which you will shape better with a small knife 3.
Place the sausage in the center of the rectangle of dough 4 and wrap it completely like a candy (5-6).
Remove the excess dough from the sides 7 and, with a sharp knife blade, make crosswise cuts on the surface of the dough 8. Repeat this process for all 4 sausages 9. Preheat the oven to 390°F, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the 4 sausages in a blanket; bake for about 10 minutes, then serve while still hot.
