🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Get Your Fire Going: If you're using a campfire, get it started well in advance. You'll want a bed of hot coals, not roaring flames. Patience is key here!
- Prep Your Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. If you're using pre-made dough, just unroll it. Try not to tear it, aight?
- Slice and Dice: Cut the dough into strips about 1-inch wide and 4-inches long. These don't gotta be perfect, relax
- Sausage Prep: If your sausages are full-sized, cut them in half. We want snack-sized, not meal-sized, okay?
- Wrap 'Em Up: Take a strip of dough and wrap it around a sausage, overlapping slightly as you go. Make sure to cover most of the sausage, leaving a little peek-a-boo at the ends. This part is kinda fun!
- Secure the Blanket: Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal it. This will keep the sausage snug as a bug in a... blanket.
- Skewer Time (Optional): If you're using skewers, gently slide a few wrapped sausages onto each skewer. Be careful not to poke through the dough too much. Ya don't wanna tear it up!
- Campfire Cooking: If you're using a campfire, hold the skewers (or place the wrapped sausages directly) over the hot coals, turning frequently. Keep a close eye on them; campfire cooking can be tricky, and they can burn quickly. Aim for a golden-brown color, about 5-7 minutes total. If you're not using skewers, place the wrapped sausages on a piece of foil or in a cast iron pan over the coals.
- Oven Baking (Alternative): If you're baking in the oven, preheat to 375°F (190°C). Place the wrapped sausages on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Once cooked, let them cool slightly before serving. Hot sausage is no joke!
- Enjoy the Moment: Gather 'round, share these little delights, and revel in the simple pleasure of campfire cooking with friends and family. It's what life's all about, right?
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, brush the dough with garlic butter before wrapping.
- Sprinkle some parmesan cheese over the dough-wrapped sausages before cooking for a cheesy twist.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mustard, or BBQ sauce.
