Perfect Homemade Sausage Rolls Recipe

Ingredients:

• 500g sausage meat or minced beef
• 1 packet of puff pastry (pre-rolled or block, thawed if frozen)
• 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or dried herbs
• Sesame seeds or black seeds (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • Mix sausage meat with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings. Ensure it’s evenly combined.
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
   • Roll out the puff pastry (if needed) and cut it into rectangular strips.
3. Assemble the Rolls:
   • Place a portion of the meat mixture along the center of each pastry strip.
   • Fold the pastry over the filling and seal by pressing the edges together. Use a fork for a decorative seal, if desired.
4. Cut and Shape:
   • Slice into smaller roll sizes as preferred.
5. Egg Wash & Topping:
   • Brush the tops of the rolls with beaten egg for a golden finish.
   • Sprinkle sesame seeds or black seeds for added texture and flavor (optional).
6. Bake:
   • Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
   • Arrange rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
   • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and flaky, and the filling is cooked through.
7. Serve:
   • Let cool slightly before serving. Pair with your favorite dips like ketchup, mustard, or a spicy chili sauce.
