Ingredients
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet:
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Sausage Filling:
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage meat, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried sage, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Roll Out the Puff Pastry:
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet into a large rectangle. The pastry should be thin but not too fragile.
4. Assemble the Sausage Rolls:
-
Spoon the sausage mixture along one edge of the puff pastry, forming a log. Roll the pastry over the sausage mixture to enclose it, sealing the edges with a little beaten egg.
5. Cut and Score the Rolls:
-
Cut the rolled pastry into individual sausage rolls, about 2 inches each. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to score the tops of the rolls lightly.
6. Brush with Egg Wash:
-
Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with the beaten egg to give them a golden, glossy finish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
7. Bake:
-
Bake the sausage rolls in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the sausage filling is cooked through.
8. Rest and Serve:
-
Allow the sausage rolls to rest for 10 minutes before serving. This helps them firm up and makes them easier to handle.
