1/4 cup (None)
Milk

Italian Sausage
1/2 lb (Casings removed)
Onion
1/2 (Finely chopped)
Egg
1 (Beaten, plus 1 egg for brushing)
Fresh Minced Garlic
1-2 teaspoons (None)
Dried Oregano
1 teaspoon (None)
Frozen Puff Pastry
1 sheet (Thawed)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a large baking sheet.
2
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and milk and let them soak until the milk is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
3
Transfer the soaked breadcrumbs to a food processor, and add the Italian sausage, finely chopped onion, one beaten egg, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Pulse using on/off turns until well combined and blended.
4
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
5
On a floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a rectangle measuring approximately 20x10 inches.
6
Cut the pastry into strips measuring 10x4 inches (a pizza cutter works great for this!).
7
Brush the top side of each strip lightly with the remaining beaten egg to enhance the color during baking.
8
Spoon a generous portion (about 1/3 of the mixture) along the center of each pastry strip, creating a narrow line of filling.
9
Carefully fold the long sides of the pastry over the filling, overlapping slightly to create a closed roll.
10
Place the filled rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to help them set.
11
After chilling, cut each roll crosswise into 8 equal pieces to form individual rolls. Make sure to space them apart on the baking sheet.
12
Brush the top of each roll with any remaining beaten egg to create a beautiful golden glaze when baked.
13
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes or until the rolls are puffed up and golden brown.
14
Serve warm with heated marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy the delightful flavors!
