Makes: 20 – 30 portions Oven: 180 °C / 350 °F
Preparation Time: 1 hour 30 minutes Baking Time: 20 – 25 minutes
Ingredients
| 500 | g | Cake flour (4 Cups) |
| 7 | ml | Salt (1½ tsp) |
| 5 | ml | Sugar (1 tsp) |
| 30 | g | Margarine (2 Tbsp) |
| 10 | g | Anchor Instant Yeast (1 packet) |
| 320 | ml | Lukewarm water (1⅓ Cups) |
| 20 | ml | Bovril (4 tsp) |
| 9 - 12 | Vienna sausages | |

Method
- In a bowl, combine the flour, salt and sugar together. Add the margarine and rub in with the finger tips.
- Add the Anchor Instant Yeast and mix. Gradually add lukewarm water to the flour mixture to form a soft dough.
- Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Cover with greased plastic and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
- Knock down the dough and divide into 2 equal portions. Roll 1 piece of dough into a rectangle. Spread 20 ml of Bovril over the dough and cut the dough into strips. Cut each Vienna sausage into 3 pieces. Wrap a strip of dough around a piece of Vienna sausage. Repeat for the remaining pieces of dough.
- Place the wrapped sausages on a greased baking tray, leaving space between them. Cover with greased plastic and allow to rise for 10 – 15 minutes. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with Sesame seeds (optional).
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C / 350 °F for 20 – 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
