Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp instant dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup butter softened
  • 4 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup milk warm; between 100°F and 110°F
  • 1 egg large
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 lbs all-purpose flour
  • 12 wieners
  • 4 pickles
  • 3 Tbsp butter to be melted

Instructions

  • Mix all of the dry ingredients in your mixer bowl.
  • Heat the milk, add the whipped egg and stir everything together.
  • Run your mixer on low and gradually add the milk. Add the vegetable oil after all of the milk is soaked into the batter.
  • Slowly add the softened butter to the batter after 5 minutes and keep mixing the batter until it forms into an elastic dough.
  • Grease a large bowl with a tablespoon of the vegetable oil, then shape the dough into a ball and transfer it into the bowl. Let the dough proof for an hour or until it doubles its size.
  • Cut the wieners in half and stuff each wiener with the sliced pickles. Мake sure the notches you make in the wieners aren't cut from end to end.
  • Take the dough out and slightly knead it so you get the air out. Divide it into two halves and roll each half into a 12-inch circle. Cut each circle into 12 equally sized triangular pieces.
  • Roll each piece, then place a wiener at its wider end and roll it into a crescent.
  • Place each crescent roll into a greased baking sheet with its tucked sided facing down. Let the crescent rolls proof for another hour.
  • In the meantime, heat your oven to 350°F.
  • Take the crescent rolls out and bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Take the rolls out of the oven and brush them with the melted butter.
  • Let the rolls cool down for about 10 minutes before consumption.

Notes

 
  • Make sure the ingredients you use for the dough are at room temperature. This will give the dough a lighter texture.
  • You can test if your milk is warm enough by dipping your pinkie. If it's too hot, you should let it cool down.
  • You may need to roll the dough more than once as it tends to pull back which can make the crescent rolls more dense.
