Surprise Sausage Bundles

Kielbasa and sauerkraut star in a tasty filling for these scrumptious stuffed rolls, which make a great dinner with soup or salad. My family also loves leftover bundles right out of the refrigerator for a quick lunch. -Barb Ruis, Grandville, Michigan

6 bacon strips, diced
1 cup chopped onion

Divide dough into 16 pieces. On a floured surface, roll out each
piece into a 4-in. circle. Top each with 1/4 cup filling. Fold dough

has been coated with cooking spray. Let rise in a warm place for 15
minutes.
Beat remaining egg; brush over bundles. Sprinkle with poppy seeds.
