Buttery Puff Pastry Sausage Rolls

Buttery Puff Pastry Sausage Rolls with Herb-Infused Filling
🔪 Instructions:

1. Preheat & prepare
   Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the filling
   In a large bowl, combine:
   Ground pork sausage
   Grated onion
   Minced garlic
   Breadcrumbs
   1 egg
   Parsley
   Thyme
   Dijon mustard
   Salt and pepper
   Mix until well combined (don’t overmix to keep it tender).
3. Prepare the pastry
   Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
   Cut it lengthwise into 2 equal strips.
4. Shape the rolls
   Divide the sausage mixture into 2 portions.
   Shape each portion into a log along the center of each pastry strip.
   Fold the pastry over the filling to enclose it.
   Seal the edges by pressing with a fork or fingers.
   Place seam-side down.
5. Cut & finish
   Cut each long roll into bite-sized pieces (about 4–5 cm each).
   Place on the baking tray, spaced slightly apart.
   Brush tops with beaten egg (egg wash).
   Sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds if desired.
6. Bake
   Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
   Let cool slightly before serving.

   If the filling feels too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs.
   For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes.
