Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup warm water
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 8 links low-fat turkey sausage
- 1 as needed olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
In a saucepan over low heat, warm the milk and butter until the butter is melted. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the milk mixture, egg, and yeast mixture. Stir to form a soft dough.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
Grill or cook the low-fat turkey sausage links according to the package instructions until they are fully cooked. Set aside to cool.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a 4-inch circle.
Place a sausage link in the center of each circle, rolling the dough up and around the sausage, pinching the seams to seal.
Place the kolaches seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and let them rise for an additional 20 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the kolaches are golden brown.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade low-fat sausage kolaches!
