Ingredients

You’ll need the following for about 16 sausage rolls:

• 1 lb ground sausage (pork, chicken, or turkey sausage — your choice)

• 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed

• 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)

• 1 garlic clove, minced

• 1 tsp dried thyme or mixed herbs

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

• Optional: Dijon mustard or cheese for extra flavor inside

‍ Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Sausage Filling

• In a mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage, onion, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.

• Mix well until fully combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Sausage Rolls

1. Roll out each puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut in half horizontally to make 4 long strips total.

2. Spoon the sausage mixture down the center of each strip, forming a log shape.

3. Optional: Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard or sprinkle some cheese before rolling.

4. Fold the pastry over the sausage and seal the edge by pressing with a fork or your fingers.

5. Slice each long roll into 4 equal pieces (or desired size).

6. Place the sausage rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet.

7. Brush tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 4: Bake

• Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is crispy and golden brown and the sausage is fully cooked.

• Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Storage & Reheating

• Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

• Freezer: Freeze unbaked or baked sausage rolls for up to 2 months.

• Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep the pastry crisp.

Tips for Perfect Sausage Rolls

• Use cold puff pastry — it puffs better when chilled.

• Customize your filling with spices, fresh herbs, or a bit of grated cheese.

• For even more flavor, use flavored sausage like Italian or chorizo.
