MY HARD ROLLS FOR BRATWURST

Steps:

• Mix all dry ingredients except salt well and add water until all of the flour is wetted and there are no lumps.
• Let the dough sit covered for 20 minutes.
• Sprinkle the salt over the dough, tip onto a lightly floured counter and knead for 3 minutes until the dough is uniform and somewhat smooth. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
• Stretch and fold the dough letter-style (top to bottom and side to side) and let sit for 30 more min covered.
• Stretch and fold and place dough in fridge overnight covered.
• Next morning, If the dough didn't double in volume, let it sit out until it does.
• Divide into 10 pieces weighing 85 to 88 g each and shape as desired.
• Preheat oven to 450 F with a pan for steaming at the bottom of the oven.
• Cover dough with oiled plastic and let proof until it's 1.5 to twice it's volume.
• Brush on egg wash if desired and score once down the middle.

MOM'S HOMEMADE BUNS

Steps:

• In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the warm water, yeast and sugar.
• Let sit for 10 minutes or until bubbly -- this is how you know your yeast is working. This step is technically not required when using instant yeast, but I do it always anyways, so that I know my buns will be a success.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a very large bowl if you are kneading by hand), whisk together the 2 cups warm water, butter, 1/3 cup sugar and salt.
• Add the bubbly yeast mixture and stir to combine.
• Place the bowl in the stand mixer and put the dough hook on the machine. You can also knead by hand.
• Add the flour, one cup at a time, and mix until nearly combined before adding more. You can use all purpose or whole wheat or a combination. Start with 4-5 cups flour, mixing until each is incorporated.
• The closer you get to your dough being ready, the less flour you will add at once. We want a smooth, soft dough, never stiff, so we need to watch and stop adding flour at just the right moment.
• Add up to 6-7 cups flour total, very gradually at the end, until the dough comes together in a smooth, soft ball and does not stick to the sides of the stand mixer. When you touch it, it should be smooth and slightly tacky but not sticky.
• Place dough in a large lightly greased bowl (you can use the same bowl and grease it), and cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel.
• Set in a warm spot (I use the oven with the light on -- turn the oven on to preheat for 2-4 minutes before turning off and adding the dough) and let rise until doubled, about 1.5 hours.
• Uncover dough, punch down, and roll out 20-24 rounds -- smoothing the top and pinching the seam in the back to smooth (see video for additional details).
• Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and let rise (you don't have to cover them) in a warm spot for 30 to 90 minutes (instant yeast will be quicker) until doubled.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until light golden brown.

BEST GRILLING BRATS RECIPE (BBQ OR GAS GRILL) RECIPE | SIP BITE GO

Steps:

• Preheat grill to 350 degrees F. (This grill temperature is crucial for maintaining the juiciness and flavor and keeps you from having to poke holes in the brats).
• Place pre cooked brats directly on grill grates over the heat and cook for 20 minutes (up to 30 minutes), flipping them about every 5 minutes. When grilled brats temperature reaches 160°F, as measured with an internal meat thermometer, then they are ready to come off the grill.
• Remove brats from the grill and rest on a cutting board for about 10 minutes. During this time, prepare condiments so they are ready to serve.
• Toast your beer brat sandwich buns if desired. We like to toast sausage buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, until a lite char is formed on the outside. Or, we just pop the buns in the air fryer at around 350 degrees F for 3 minutes to lightly brown.
• Assemble grilled brats sandwiches by placing each brat into a bun and topping with dijon mustard and ketchup, or your favorite condiments. Enjoy!

BEER BRATS

Steps:

• Place brats in a Dutch oven with onions and butter, cover the brats with beer. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer until brats are cooked. Remove brats and set aside beer mixture. Grill brats until golden brown and return to beer mixture until ready to serve. Serve brats on fresh baked brat buns with sauerkraut, onions, green peppers, ketchup, and/or mustard.
