📝 Ingredients:
✅ 1 pound (450g) ground pork sausage (or your favorite sausage meat)
✅ 1 small onion (finely chopped)
✅ 1 clove garlic (minced)
✅ 1 teaspoon dried thyme
✅ 1 teaspoon dried sage
✅ ½ teaspoon paprika
✅ Salt and pepper to taste
✅ 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
✅ 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
✅ Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for topping)
👩🍳 How to Make It:
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, mix the ground sausage, onion, garlic, thyme, sage, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3️⃣ Roll Out the Pastry:
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle (about 12×9 inches). Cut it lengthwise into two equal strips.
4️⃣ Shape the Sausage Rolls:
Divide the sausage mixture into two portions. Shape each portion into a long log and place it along the center of each pastry strip. Brush one edge of the pastry with egg wash, then fold the other edge over to encase the sausage. Press to seal.
5️⃣ Cut & Score:
Cut each roll into 6-8 smaller pieces. Use a sharp knife to score the tops lightly (for decoration) and brush with egg wash. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if desired.
6️⃣ Bake to Golden Perfection:
Arrange the sausage rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the sausage is cooked through.
7️⃣ Serve Warm:
Let cool slightly, then serve with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.
