Chicken sausage rolls

I had seen these in many fat food centers, and I absolutely love them. They are perfect for quick snacks, not much heavy on stomach. I was reluctant to try it out as I fail miserably in read making.
But ever since I got my hands on good quality yeast (Bluebird brand) I am back in bread baking :)
So here is my try for the same, I have referred several recipes and combined them to create one for me. My sincere thanks to many internet chefs out there for this recipe.

Ingredients:
2 cup flour (216 gms)
1 cup milk (2 tbsp milk powder + warm milk)
1.5 Tsp dry yeast (bluebird brand)
1 Tsp white sugar
1 Tsp Salt
3 Tbsp butter (Butter of your choice, adjust salt accordingly)
1 Egg yolk (Fro brushing)
Herb mix + chilly flakes
Chicken sausages (4)

This recipe shall make 4 chicken sausage rolls.

Method:
- Mix well 2 Tbsp milk powder, 1 Cup water, 1 Tsp sugar and 1 Tsp salt.
- Add yeast to above mixture and mix well, keep still in warm place for about 15-20 minutes or till it becomes frothy
- Add herb mix of your choice, along with chilly flakes to the flour (I used oregano, thyme and chilly flakes)
- On kneading surface, mix together frothy yeast and flour mix till its well combined.
- Add 3 Tbsp butter to this, and knead dough well.
- Coat with little oil and let dough rest till it gains double size.
(I allowed my dough to be cold rise for almost 48 hrs, as mentioned in some recipe. Cold rise means just wrap and keep in fridge. As I planned to make bread next days, I gave it a try and it was good).
- Punch down dough and knead dough, so that it becomes smooth and stretchy.

- Divide in four equal parts and and shape them as of rolling pin, i.e. thick in center and thin on sides, of length a bit bigger than sausages.
- Now wrap every sausage with rolled out dough and keep aside for 10-15 mins/till it rises again.
- Brush with egg yolk on top and bake them for about 25 minutes on 170 degree Celsius.

Enjoy. :)
