Sausage Roll Recipe

Ingredients

• For the Filling:
  • 1 pound (450g) sausage meat (or ground sausage)
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or sage
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for texture)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
• For the Pastry:
  • 1 package of puff pastry (about 17 oz, thawed if frozen)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a bowl, combine the sausage meat, finely chopped onion, minced garlic (if using), thyme or sage, salt, pepper, breadcrumbs, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined.
3. Roll Out the Pastry:
   • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the pastry into long strips (about 4 inches wide).
4. Fill the Pastry:
   • Place a line of sausage filling along one edge of each pastry strip, leaving some space at the ends for sealing.
5. Roll and Seal:
   • Roll the pastry over the filling, starting from the filled edge, and seal the edges by pressing them together. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
6. Cut and Egg Wash:
   • Cut each roll into desired lengths (typically 3-4 inches). Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
7. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
8. Serve:
   • Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
