Ingredients
For the Sausage Filling
- Sausage Meat (500g) – The main filling, is rich and juicy.
- Onion (1 small, finely chopped) – Adds depth of flavor.
- Fresh Sage (1 tbsp, chopped) – Classic herb for sausage rolls.
- Breadcrumbs (50g) – Helps bind the filling and keep it moist.
- English Mustard (1 tsp) – Adds a slight kick.
- Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
For the Pastry
- Ready-Made Puff Pastry (1 sheet, chilled) – For a flaky, golden crust.
- Egg (1, beaten) – For glazing, give the rolls a shiny finish.
- Sesame Seeds (optional, for topping) – Adds a slight crunch.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage meat, chopped onion, fresh sage, breadcrumbs, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 3: Roll out the pastry
Lightly flour a surface and roll out the puff pastry into a large rectangle if needed. Cut it in half lengthwise to create two long strips.
Step 4: Shape the sausage rolls
Divide the sausage mixture into two equal portions. Place each portion along the center of each pastry strip, forming a long sausage shape.
Step 5: Seal and cut the rolls
Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg. Fold the pastry over the sausage meat and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges, then cut into smaller rolls (about 6-8 per strip).
Step 6: Glaze and bake
Place the sausage rolls onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 7: Serve
Let the sausage rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with your favorite dipping sauces.
