Ingredients
  

  • For the Sausage Rolls:
  • 1 lb ground sausage pork, chicken, or turkey
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pack 14 oz puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • Optional Garnish:
  • Sesame seeds or poppy seeds for sprinkling

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharp knife
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven:
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Prepare the Sausage Filling:
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.
  5. Roll Out the Pastry:
  6. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry into a large rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the pastry into two or three long strips.
  7. Assemble the Rolls:
  8. Spoon the sausage mixture evenly down the center of each pastry strip. Fold the pastry over the filling, overlapping the edges slightly, and press to seal. Place the rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  9. Cut and Brush:
  10. Use a sharp knife to cut each roll into bite-sized pieces (about 2 inches each). Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, if desired.
  11. Bake:
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the sausage is fully cooked.
  13. Cool and Serve:
  14. Allow the sausage rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
