These Sausage Rolls are super delicious & easy to prepare. They make for perfect snacks & starters.

Growing up, I always found myself munching on sausage rolls, especially on those cold rainy days. These warm pockets of goodness are filled with sausages & wrapped with puff pastry.

Homemade puff pastry is always a winner but nowadays everyone needs the easy way out so I have used a store bought puff pastry for this recipe.

Sausage Rolls Ingredients:

• 500 grams puff pastry
• 7-8 links of sausages
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon milk
• flour for dusting the surface
• sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)

Method:

1. 1. Preheat oven to 180° Celsius or 356° Fahrenheit.
   2. Make sure that the sausages & the puff pastry are defrosted. I have used spicy lamb sausages for this recipe but you may substitute them to suite your preference.
   3. 
   4. Remove the casings from the sausages.
   5. 
   6. Sprinkle some flour onto a working surface & place the puff pastry over it.
   7. 
   8. Next, mold the sausages as they would be if they still had their casings & place them onto the puff pastry. Leaving some space in between, cut the puff pastry.
   9. 
   10. Thereafter, roll the puff pastry over the sausage filling, leaving the seams at the bottom end.
   11. 
   12. Continue this process until all of the puff pastry is rolled.
   13. 
   14. 
   15. Next, cut the rolls to form smaller pieces – I have cut mine into bite sized pieces but you may cut them to form bigger Sausage Rolls.
   16. 
   17. Thereafter, using a knife, make slits on the top of each Sausage Roll. This will allow the filling to cook properly,

   19. 
   20. Prepare a baking tray by lining it with baking or parchment paper & then lay the Sausage Rolls onto it, making sure there is a space in between them.
   21. 
   22. 
   23. Crack the egg into a bowl & add in the milk.
   24. 
   25. Mix well.
   26. 
   27. Brush the egg wash over each Sausage Roll & then top with either sesame seeds or poppy seeds although it isn’t necessary to add anything after the egg wash.
   28. 
   29. Bake for 25 minutes until golden.
   30. 
   31. 
   32. Plate & serve.
   33. 
   34. 
   35. 
   36. Best when served hot as the sausage filling tends to get fatty when cold.
   37. 
   38. 
   39. These Sausage Rolls can also be made ahead & stored in the freezer before baking them. Defrost them when you need to bake them.
