Instructions

1. Mix all the dry ingredients.
2. Slowly add the wet ingredients while continuously mixing everything.
3. Knead the dough until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
4. Pre-heat the oven at 400°F.
5. Let it rest for 5 minutes. Cover it with a damp kitchen cloth.
6. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Flatten each portion to 4 inches wide and 11 inches in length using hands or rolling pin.
7. Line one footlong and 4 slices of cheese into the flattened dough. Roll the dough to seal.
8. Bake it in the oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Remove the bread from the oven. Brush the top of the bread with melted butter.

Tips and Techniques

1. Adjust the cooking time because the internal temperature of ovens may vary.
2. As an alternative for butter, brush beaten egg white with water on the of each bread before baking.
3. Choose any kind of cheese you want.
4. Serve it with any condiments you prefer.
5. Rotate the baking sheet after 8 minutes to evenly cook all pieces. This is done because some parts of the oven produce more heat than the other parts.

Hi Liz,

Yes. This is a pigs in a blanket with a twist! But of course I do love the UK version of it.

This is a different take on pigs in blankets for me. In the UK pigs in blankets are small sausages wrapped in bacon, traditionally served at Christmas with roast Turkey.
