Ingredients

• 3 cups bread flour
• 1 cup warm milk
• 3 teaspoons bread machine yeast
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 (16 ounce) package frozen hash brown potatoes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 15 to 18 minutes.

Step 2

Make the dough: Place milk, egg, egg yolk, butter, flour, salt, sugar, and yeast into a bread machine in the order listed, or follow the order recommended by your manufacturer if different. Run the Dough cycle, about 1 1/2 hours.

Step 3

When the cycle is finished, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.

Step 4

Punch down dough on a lightly floured surface and divide into 36 pieces. Roll pieces into balls. Arrange balls in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Allow balls to rise, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 5

Flatten balls, and make a depression in the center of each. Fill each with 1 piece sausage, about 1 tablespoon potatoes, and 1 square Cheddar.
