Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Puff pastry
- 450 g Sausage meat
- 50 g Breadcrumbs
- 1 small (finely diced) Onion
- 2 (minced) Garlic cloves
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tbsp Milk
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp (for dusting) Plain flour
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage meat, breadcrumbs, finely diced onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with plain flour. Roll out the puff pastry to about 3mm thickness, ensuring it is smooth and even.
Cut the puff pastry into two equal rectangles lengthwise, creating two long strips.
Divide the sausage mixture into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a long, even log and place it along each strip of pastry, slightly off-center.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with one tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash.
Brush the edge of the pastry closest to the sausage with the egg wash. Fold the other side of the pastry over the sausage filling, pressing firmly to seal the edges.
Use a sharp knife to trim any excess pastry and cut the sealed rolls into smaller pieces (about 4-5cm each).
Place the sausage rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking tray and brush the tops with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.
Using the tip of a knife, make a small slit or two on the top of each roll to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake the sausage rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed, and the sausage is cooked through.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
