Ingredients
Ingredients
Puff pastry sheets
6 (Pre-rolled, halved)
Ground sausage
1 kg (Fresh or seasoned to taste)
Fresh or dried breadcrumbs
1 cup (Use fresh for moisture or dried for crunch)
Medium onion
1 (Finely chopped)
Chopped parsley
2 tablespoons (Fresh)
Milk
1/2 cup (For the filling)
Salt and pepper
To taste (For seasoning)
Egg
1 (Beaten, for sealing and brushing)
Milk
2 tablespoons (For egg wash)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
2
Gently lay out the pre-rolled puff pastry sheets on a clean countertop. If using pastry with plastic interleaving, leave it on for now.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, chopped parsley, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined; the mixture should be moist and slightly loose.
4
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 2 tablespoons of milk until fully blended.
5
Transfer the sausage mixture into a large piping bag without a nozzle. Squeeze out a long line of the mixture along one long edge of each pastry sheet, about 1.5 cm (0.5 inch) from the edge.
6
Carefully roll the pastry over the filling, peeling off the plastic as you go to form a tight log. Press to seal the edge and brush with some egg mixture to ensure it sticks.
7
Using a sharp knife, cut each roll in half for bite-sized servings. Make a shallow indent in the center of each roll to facilitate easier cutting later.
8
Prick the tops of each roll a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
9
Continue filling and rolling until all the pastry and filling are used.
10
Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining egg mixture for a golden finish.
11
Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 5 minutes at 220°C (428°F).
12
After 5 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 200°C (392°F) and continue to bake for an additional 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
13
Once baked, remove the sausage rolls from the oven and let them cool briefly on a tray before serving with your favorite dipping sauces.
