Hot Dogs

Dog shaped rolls with a sausage inside - these went down really well in the Mini Mes' lunch boxes as an alternative to sandwiches!




Ingredients
500g flour
270ml tepid water
10g yeast
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
Raisins
Sausages

























Method
  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees
  • Use the flour to create a well in a bowl and add the yeast, sugar and salt together in the centre
  • Gradually add in the tepid water and combine to form a dough
  • Knead for 3-4 minutes until elastic in texture on a floured surface
  • Cover and leave for 30 minutes to rise
  • Knock back by hitting the dough for around 30 seconds
  • Split the dough into 12 balls and place on a baking tray
  • Flatten them slightly and shape them to make them oval
  • Cover and leave to rise again for 15 minutes
  • Cut two lines in each oval to create ears and add three raisins for the eyes and nose
  • Cook for around 12 minutes until lightly golden in colour
  • Leave to cool for a few minutes
  • Slice the roll and add in your sausage (and any butter, sauce and salad)
  • Scoff!

Hotel for Dogs Movie
 


Get the tissues at the ready for this story of friendship, foster care and forgotten pets!


A brother and sister duo, Andi and Bruce, are not allowed pets at their foster home but they have been secretly looking after a dog named Friday for some time. When they come across an abandoned hotel they soon realise it's the perfect shelter for their poochie and are soon joined by many other dogs too. Will the dogs be found by the pound or does it all end well...
