Twisted Wienerwurst Buns

Labels: { , }


There is absolutely nothing better than fresh, warm homemade bread! The smell that fills your kitchen and the taste makes all the effort worthwhile. These savory, satisfying soft bread are just wonderful for a potluck, a picnic, or even your lunch box! God knows how many times I have baked this twisted buns!

DoughTopping
  • 60-80 g Spring onions, chopped
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Black pepper powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Sesame seeds
  1. Add flour, yeast, sugar and salt in the mixing bowl fitted with a dough hook. Add in egg, milk, and water roux. Mix at slow speed for 1 minute until combined. Increase the speed to medium, and continue to mix for 3 minutes until the dough forms.
  2. Add in butter mix at slow speed until incorporated. Then increase speed and knead until gluten is fully developed, i. e. elastic, smooth, non-sticky and leave from the sides of your mixing bowl, about 5 minutes.
  3. Remove and form the dough into a smooth ball. Place it in a lightly greased bowl, covered with a plastic wrap, and leave in a warm place until dough is double in volume, about an hour. Press the dough down to release gases produced in the fermenting process. Divide dough into 9 portions, each is about 60-62 grams and round up and rest for 10 minutes at the room temperature.
  4. Flatten each dough ball, with seam side down, and roll into a rectangle. The length of the dough should be the same as the sausage you are going to use. Now turn the seam side up, and place a sausage on the dough. Roll it up and cut into 5 equal portions, but DO NOT cut them through, leaving a thin joint between portions. Cross the first and the last joints, turn the cutting edges of 3 portions over to obtain a flower pattern. Place on a baking tray lined with a baking sheet and cover with a plastic wrapper. Leave to rise for 45-60 minutes.
  5. To prepare the topping, mix spring onions, egg (reserve 1 tablespoon for brushing the tops) , olive oil, and black pepper in a bowl. Add the salt in just when you are ready to use it. When the buns have doubled in size, brush them with reserved egg mixture, then place some onion mixture atop. Finally sprinkle with some sesame seeds.
  6. Bake in preheated oven at 175C/350F for 15 minutes or until golden brown. When done, turn the buns onto a wire rack and let cool completely.

These buns look like flowers! So pretty...I bet it taste really good too! :) Using water roux technique, the buns must be real soft. :) Will give this recipe a try when I'm craving for sausage buns. :)

These look perfect-This would make such a great appetizer recipe to serve up with cocktails. I am saving this one. I am not sure I can get them to look as nice as yours but, I am willing to try. In the U.S. we call wieners that are wrapped in dough-Pigs in a blanket.

Those look so cute! Thanks for the pictures, it really helps you figure out how to roll the dough. I'm not a fan of hot dogs in unless they're heavily charred from a grill, but i'm thinking replacing the hot dog with string cheese would be nice. :)

Hi, the recipe call for 75 g of tangzhong starter. so how much bread flour do i need? 75 g of bread flour to 375ml of water?

[Reply]
Angie's Recipes 23/6/10 11:54

Anonymous: 75 g of flour and 375 ml of water would make a 430-450 g of starter. I usually made one batch of starter using 50 grams of flour with 250 ml of water, then used it up in 2-3 times.

Thank you for the step by step. But I did not achieve to it. My dough sticky that I could not twist . I just simply wrap the sausages and baked them. They are tasty.

Thank you for sharing the recipe. Baked the buns and they were so pretty and soft :) After twisting the dough to form the flower pattern, should the dough cover the bottom of the bun? The wursts stuck out at the bottom without dough and I found myself pulling the dough to cover the wursts. Thanks in advance for your insights.

[Reply]
Angie's Recipes 10/10/11 18:37

@tsinoyingermanyI am not quite sure about your question...don't cut the log through, and when you twist the pattern, the top and bottom are the same. If the sausage piece stuck out..you might want to use a smaller sausage.

Hi, Angie. Thank you for your beautiful recipe.
I would like to ask you in what stage and if the dough/bun can be refrigerated to be continued/baked the next day.
Liliana

[Reply]
Angie's Recipes 30/1/12 07:20

@lilianatimofte64You can refrigerate them after shaping, but finish the topping before baking and use less yeast for the dough or they might be over-proved.
