In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let this mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
Once the yeast is activated, stir in flour and salt.
Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for 2 hours, until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, divide it into 8 equally-sized pieces.
Roll the dough into a long thin rope.
Stick a skewer through the sausage.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the sausage diagonally from end to end, leaving one end attached. This will create a long, spiral shape.
Stretch out the sausage into a long, thin spiral. Wind it around a skewer in a spiral pattern.
Gently wrap the pastry dough around the sausage spiral, pressing it firmly to secure it and seal any spaces between the sausage coils.
Heat oil in a pan or deep fryer to the desired temperature (around 350°F). Lower the sausage spirals into the hot oil.
Fry the spirals for 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve the sausage spirals are a great appetizer or snack.
