Ingredients

  • 36 frozen fully cooked breakfast sausage links
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5-1/2 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
  • TOPPING:
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 3 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat just until browned, turning frequently. Cool slightly; refrigerate.
  2. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar, butter, eggs, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
  3. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 6 portions. Roll each portion into a 10-in. circle; cut each circle into 6 wedges. Place a sausage at wide end of each wedge; roll up from wide ends. Place point sides down, 2 in. apart, on greased baking sheets. Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°. Beat egg white and water; brush over rolls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake until lightly browned, 12-14 minutes. Serve warm.
