Sausages in dough on kefir - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! You can use an equal amount of buttermilk or plain yogurt thinned with a tablespoon of water as a kefir substitute. The acidity helps activate the yeast and tenderize the dough.
Simply replace the meat sausages with plant-based sausages or seasoned veggie hot dogs. All other steps remain the same for a delicious vegetarian version.
Absolutely. Freeze unbaked rolls on a tray before transferring to airtight bags for 2 months. Bake from frozen – just add 5-7 extra minutes. Cooked rolls can also be frozen and reheated in a 350°F (175°C) oven.
Store cooled sausage rolls in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge. Reheat in a toaster oven or regular oven (not microwave) at 350°F (175°C) for 5-8 minutes to maintain crispiness.
This usually means your yeast wasn't properly activated. Ensure your water is warm (110-115°F/43-46°C), not hot, and your rising space is draft-free. Old yeast can also cause poor rising – test it first by seeing if it bubbles when mixed with warm water and sugar.
For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. For low-carb, try almond flour dough (note: texture will differ significantly). You'll need to adjust liquid quantities and may need xanthan gum as binding agent for GF versions.
They pair well with honey mustard, spicy ketchup, or cheese dip. For sides, try a simple cabbage slaw, roasted vegetables, or tomato soup for a comforting meal.
