Hello dear readers! Today, I want to share with you a recipe that combines simple ingredients into a truly mouth-watering delight – homemade sausage rolls. These savory treats are a staple at family gatherings and potlucks in my household, and they’re always a hit! So, join me on this “Savory Indulgence: My Homemade Sausage Roll Extravaganza”, as we roll up our sleeves and get baking!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of good quality sausage meat
• 1 sheet of ready-made puff pastry
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 beaten egg, for glazing
• Sesame seeds, for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the filling: I take the sausage meat and mix it in a bowl with the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper. I ensure these ingredients are well combined.
2. Preheat my oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Prepare the pastry: I roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, about a quarter of an inch thick.
4. Assemble the rolls: I shape the sausage mixture into a log along the long edge of the pastry, then I roll the pastry over the sausage meat, making sure it’s fully encased. I trim off any excess pastry and seal the edge by crimping it with a fork.
5. Finish the rolls: I cut the long roll into smaller sausage rolls, about 2 inches long, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. I brush each sausage roll with the beaten egg and sprinkle them with sesame seeds for that extra touch.
6. Bake the sausage rolls: I pop the tray into the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the sausage is cooked through.
