Pigs in a Blanket #CulinaryCam #NationalPigsinaBlanketDay

By


Supposedly Saturday, April 24th is National Pigs in a Blanket Day. Uh-huh. Okay! 

We filmed this process for our Culinary Cam YouTube channel and I will link to that as soon as it's live.  In the meantime I'm giving you plenty of warning and lead time to make this for yourself because, trust me, you are going to want to eat these.

This dough is my go-to for everything from dinner rolls to the actual rolls, Danish Fastelavnsboller. It's quick to make and such a great texture. I do skip the milk and the cardamom for regular uses.

Ingredients

Dough
  • 13 grams active dry yeast 
  • 250 ml water, warmed to steaming but not boiling
  • 100 grams butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 40 grams organic granulated sugar
  • 450 grams flour + more for kneading
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt 
  • 1 egg

Assembly and Serving
  • hot dogs (prefer organic, 100% grass-fed)
  • ketchup
  • mustard
  • Also needed: rolling pin, baking sheet lined with parchment paper and silicone mat

Procedure

Dough
Pour warm water into a large mixing bowl, stir in sugar, and sprinkle yeast over the top. Let bloom for 10 to 15 minutes. It should be foamy and frothy. Add in the butter and egg. Whisk to combine.

Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Knead until a scraggy dough forms. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 30 to 40 minutes. It should be doubled in size.

Assembly
Dust a workspace with flour and turn out the dough. Knead the dough, dusting to prevent sticking if needed. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to a rectangle, approximately 12" x 16". Cut the dough into strips to wrap the hot dogs. I reserved the rest and made dinner rolls!


Wrap the hot dogs with the strips and place it on parchment paper or silicone mat-lined baking sheet. Let them rest and rise for 20 to 25 minutes. While the dough rises, preheat the oven to 395 degrees Fahrenheit. 


Place the dogs in the oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes before serving.

Serve with whatever condiments you prefer. I served these with organic ketchup and two kinds of mustard.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
