Ingredients
- ((Any flavor will work)) Pork Bratwurst (Cheddar Jalapeno)
- (3/4 Cup) Warm water
- (3/4 tsp) Active Dry Yeast
- (1 tsp) Sugar
- (1 tsp) Salt
- (2 tsp) Avocado Oil
- (1 1/3 Cup) All Purpose Flour
- (1) Egg (for egg wash)
- Course Salt to top
Directions
1. Activate the Yeast
In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, sugar, and salt.
Let rest for 10 minutes until slightly foamy.
2. Form the Dough
Add avocado oil and flour.
Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead by hand (or with a dough hook) for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
3. Prepare the Bratwursts
While dough rises, preheat oven to 425°F.
If your bratwursts are raw, you can either:
- Wrap them raw (they’ll cook through while baking), or
- Lightly pre-cook in a skillet for a firmer texture inside the pretzel wrap.
4. Shape & Wrap
Divide dough into 3 equal portions.
Roll each piece into a rope long enough to wrap around a bratwurst.
Spiral the dough around each sausage, sealing the ends underneath.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Egg Wash & Bake
Whisk one egg and brush generously over each wrapped brat.
Sprinkle with coarse salt if desired.
Bake at 425°F for 18 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve With
- Raw honey mustard
- Fermented kraut
- A simple pasture-raised side salad
- Or sliced for a kid-friendly dinner plate
