 Welcome
LITHUANIAN BACON BUNS


A member of the crochet/knit group brought these to a recent fall potluck luncheon that we had.  These were a BIG hit.  Simple, but very different.  Try them out.  She made her own dough from the dough recipe provided with her bread machine, but you can use frozen bread dough and roll it out.  These would be great for breakfast the next day.  Mary made these the day before and then she just warmed them up slightly in the microwave.  Wow, wonderful.

2 lb bacon, diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 egg
bread dough or dinner roll dough, enough for 24 dinner rolls or 1 loaf of  frozen bread  dough. We use the dinner roll recipe from our bread machine but I bet pretty much anything would work. (The actual recipe calls for frozen bread dough)

Fry bacon until it's brown, but not crispy.  Add onion and cook until it is translucent.  Drain off and save drippings.Cool bacon and onion mixture; stir in egg.

Cut dough into 2" pieces and roll flat, about 1/2" thick.  Shape into squares or rectangles. Put bacon mixture, about 2 Tbsp, in the middle and fold the dough over.  Place about 2" apart on lightly greased cookie sheet.  Allow to rise according to the dough directions (ours is 30 minutes).

Bake according to dough directions (ours is 30 minutes at 400). Brush tops with reserved drippings, if desired (this seems to be a bit much to me, so I don't do that).  The recipe also says to let cool on paper bags, to absorb grease.
