These sausage rolls are a delightful treat, perfect for any occasion. With a flaky pastry and flavorful filling, they are sure to be a hit.
Preheat your oven to 220°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy pastry.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage meat, finely diced onion, half of the beaten egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
Mixing by hand helps to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a thin sheet.
Keep the pastry cold for easier handling.
Shape the sausage mixture into long logs and place them along one edge of the pastry. Roll the pastry over the filling, sealing the edge with a bit of water.
Use water sparingly to avoid making the pastry soggy.
Cut the rolls into desired lengths and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg for a golden finish.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
Keep an eye on the rolls to prevent over-browning.
Allow the sausage rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
Serve with a dipping sauce for added flavor.
