Sausage dogs - wheat free recipe
What do you get if you cross a sausage roll and a hot dog? Sausage dogs!
We originally came up with the idea after trying bought wheat/gluten free sausage rolls, they had tiny bits of filling in thick layers of dry pastry, and took a lot of chewing and washing down. We thought we could do better. Kids and adults alike will love their quirky look.

makes 12
| 200 | g | all purpose wheat free flour (gluten free alternative flour mix: 200g gluten free flour) |
| 100 | g | low-fat spread, margarine or butter |
| water to mix | ||
| 12 | wheat free chipolatas (we used Helen Brownings speedy organic pork sausages) |
|
| 1 | egg, beaten, for glazing pastry |
preheat oven: 220°C, fan 200°C, 425°F, Gas 7
| 1. | Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. |
| 2. | Mix the flour and fat until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add water until it binds into pastry. |
| 3. | Roll out pastry to approx. 6mm thick (¼"). Cut into strips approx. 25mm (1") narrower than the length of the chipolatas being used. |
| 4. | Roll up the chipolata in the pastry strip and cut the pastry off just slightly longer than is needed to wrap the chipolata. Gently press the seam together, you may need to use a bit of beaten egg to help sticking together. |
| 5. | Place the pastry wrapped sausage dog on the baking tray and repeat steps 3 & 4 until all the chipolatas are wrapped in pastry. Brush the pastry with beaten egg. |
| 6. | Bake for 20 minutes until the sausages have browned and the pastry is crisp and cooked. |
These are great hot or cold for party nibbles, snacks or lunchboxes. Why not serve them with a spicy tomato dip, or for the kids run a thin strip of tomato ketchup along the entire length of the sausage dog.
