Ingredients
- 8 vegan breakfast sausage links
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, (240g)
- 2 tablespoons cane sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast, (1 packet)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk, + more for brushing, (177ml)
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
- 1/2 cup vegan cheese shreds, such as cheddar, (50g)
- 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños, diced
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Melt the vegan butter in the microwave for 30 seconds and dice the jalapeños. Cook the vegan breakfast sausage according to the package instructions. Lightly grease a small baking sheet with oil.
- Combine half of the flour with the cane sugar, instant yeast, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Heat the plant milk in the microwave for about 45 seconds or on the stovetop until it reaches 120°F (*see note below).
- Pour the heated milk and melted butter into the flour mixture and gently stir them together. Add in the rest of the flour. Keep stirring for about 2 minutes until the dough is not sticky anymore and easily comes away from the edge of the bowl. If it still looks wet and sticky, add a little bit of flour to your hands before kneading it.
- Use your hands to knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and stretchy. Roll it into a ball. Put it in a bowl and cover it loosely with a kitchen towel. Place the bowl in a warm corner of the kitchen or in the microwave to rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 8 sections using a pastry cutter or knife. (Cut the sphere in half, and then each side in half, and then quarters so that you have 8 small triangles.) Roll out the sections by gently flattening each one with your fingers first. Then, use a roller to roll them out into ovals large enough to fit the vegan sausage links.
- Fill the kolaches by adding the sausage, cheese, and jalapeños to one edge. Tuck in the sides as you roll the dough around the filling. Seal the seams by pinching them together and then give the kolache a quick roll to smooth out the seam.
- Place each roll on the baking sheet, seam side down. Cover the tray with a kitchen towel and place it in a warm corner of the kitchen or the microwave for 30 minutes to give the dough time to rise.
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). At this point, the vegan sausage rolls should have risen to a bigger size than they were at first. Brush them with a light layer of plant-based milk and bake them for about 15 minutes or until they are golden-brown on top.

Notes
Check the temperature of the plant milk with a food thermometer because if the temperature becomes too high, it can deactivate the yeast. Wait a few minutes to add it to the bowl if the temperature goes above 130°F.
