Ingredients

• 500 g Puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
• 450 g Sausage meat
• 50 g Breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry to a thickness of about 3-4mm. Cut into two equal rectangular sheets.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage meat, breadcrumbs, parsley, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 4

Divide the sausage mixture in half. Shape each half into a long, even sausage shape that stretches the length of each puff pastry sheet.

Step 5

Lay the sausage filling lengthwise along the center of each pastry sheet. Brush one edge of each pastry sheet lightly with water.

Step 6

Fold the pastry over the sausage filling, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish.

Step 7

Use a sharp knife to cut each pastry roll into 4 equal pieces (or more for smaller sausage rolls). Transfer the pieces to the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the sausage rolls generously with beaten egg to achieve a golden, glossy finish.

Step 9

Using the tip of a knife, make 2-3 small slits on the top of each sausage roll to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden, and the sausage filling is cooked through.

Step 11

Allow the sausage rolls to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
