Instructions

Make the filling

Fry bacon in a skillet until crispy; remove to paper towels. Reserve 2 tablespoons of drippings. Sauté onion in drippings until softened. Stir in sauerkraut, sausage, brown sugar, garlic salt, caraway seeds, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in bacon. Let cool.

Prepare the dough

Combine hot roll mix in a bowl. Add 1 egg, water, and butter; knead into a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Cover with a large bowl; let rest for 5 minutes.

Shape the bundles

Divide dough into 16 portions. On a floured surface, roll each into a 4-inch circle. Place 1/4 cup filling on each circle. Fold dough over filling and shape into a ball; pinch edges to seal. Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet. Loosely cover with plastic wrap coated with nonstick cooking spray. Let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
