Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pastry
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into two equal strips.
Step 2: Assemble the Sausage Rolls
- If using whole sausage links, remove the casings.
- Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on each pastry strip (optional for extra flavor).
- Place the sausage meat in the center of each strip and season with black pepper and herbs.
- Fold the pastry over the sausage and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Step 3: Slice & Brush with Egg Wash
- Cut the logs into bite-sized rolls or leave them longer for bigger portions.
- Place them on a lined baking sheet, seam-side down.
- Brush with beaten egg for a golden finish and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
- Let them cool slightly before serving.
