Puff Pastry Sausage Rolls
Sausage rolls were always something I wanted to make, but I stayed away from them because making flaky pastries was always a little bit daunting to me. However, this recipe uses store-bought puff pastry, so you don't need to make your own. I'm also using pre-made sausage meat, so this recipe is super easy!
Ingredients
- 1 package frozen puff pastry (defrosted according to package instructions)
- 1 pound pork sausages (see notes)
- 1 large egg (beaten)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove sausage casings and place the meat in a bowl.
- Place puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet in half to make 4 rectangles, about 5x10 inches each. Lay each rectangle with the long side facing you.
- Divide the sausage mixture into four portions. Shape them into 1-inch-thick logs, and place them in the center of each pastry rectangle.
- Brush the top and bottom edges of the pastry with the beaten egg.
- Carefully roll the pastries over the sausage mixture to create a log shape. Place each roll with the seam side down.
- Use a sharp knife to make diagonal slashes down each roll. Line up all 4 rolls and cut them into 3 equal pieces. If cutting the rolls is difficult, pop them in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up.
- Place each roll on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden on top.
Notes
Pork Sausages: You can use any type of pork sausage meat. I recommend Italian sausages from Costco.
Freezing: Both baked and unbaked sausage rolls can be frozen for up to 3 months. Freeze unbaked rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 2 hours until semi-solid. Then, transfer to a ziplock bag for long-term storage. When it's time to bake, bake them directly from frozen in a 350℉ oven for 25-30 minutes.
