❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Piggy in the Blanket Dough
1. Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat pastry flour for a healthier option. Just keep in mind that the dough may be a bit denser. You can also use gluten free all purpose flour, but the texture will be different.
2. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough up to a day in advance. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. When you are ready to use it, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before rolling it out.
3. Can I freeze these piggies in a blanket?
Absolutely. You can freeze them either before or after baking. To freeze unbaked, place the assembled piggies in a blanket on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time. To freeze baked ones, let them cool completely, then store in a freezer bag. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
4. What can I serve with these?
These are great on their own, but they also pair well with ketchup, mustard, or a cheese dipping sauce. For a full meal, serve them with a side salad or some roasted vegetables.
5. My dough is too sticky. What should I do?
If your dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it becomes manageable. Be careful not to add too much flour, or the dough will become tough.
