1 1/4 oz. enve dry yeast
2 tb Sugar
2 tb Vegetable oil
2 c Warm water – 110 degrees
6 c All-purpose flour
1/2 c Yellow cornmeal
2 ts Salt
1/2 lb Andouille or kielbasa
-sausage – chopped
1/2 lb Grated white cheddar cheese
Vegetable oil for frying
Directions: Combine the yeast, sugar, olive oil in a bowl. Add the
warm water and with a mixer, beat at low speed for about 4 minutes to
dissolve the yeast. In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the
flour, cornmeal and salt. Add this mixture to the yeast and mix on
low speed until it comes together. Increase the speed to medium and
beat until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Remove
dough from bowl and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Gently roll
and form into a narrow loaf about 24″ long. Cut into 18 equal
portions and hand roll the portions on a floured surface to form
small rolls. Place rolls 1″ apart onto sheet lined with parchment
paper. Let stand for about 30 minutes to slightly rise. When risen,
press gently on the rolls to flatten and spread slightly. Spoon 1
tablespoon of the cheese into the cavity and 1 T. of the sausage.
Pinch the dough together to close. Heat 4″ of vegetable oil in a
fryer to 360 degrees. Deep fry the rolls 2-3 at a time for about 3
minutes, turning them occasionally. Remove and drain on paper towels.
