Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package puff pastry (contains 2 sheets, 17.3 ounces), defrosted
  • 1 pound pork sausage
  • 2 eggs, divided
  • 2/3 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the pork sausage, 1 egg, Italian breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, garlic, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated for even flavor in every bite.
  3. Prepare the dough: Place the defrosted puff pastry sheets on a clean non-stick surface. Roll each sheet out lightly to make them slightly thinner. Cut each sheet into 3 equal long rectangles, resulting in a total of 6 rectangles. If the dough was folded, use the fold lines as guides for cutting.
  4. Fill the pastry dough: Take small spoonfuls of the sausage mixture and arrange them in the center of each piece of dough, creating a line, while leaving about an inch of pastry on either side. Mold the mixture into a long string along the center. Bring the edges of the dough up and over the sausage, then use a fork to pinch and seal the seam, encasing the sausage completely.
  5. Slice: Using a sharp knife, cut each sealed sausage roll log into approximately 2-inch slices. Arrange all the sausage rolls seam-side down on your lined baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
  6. Add an egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg and 1 tablespoon water. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the sausage rolls to promote a glossy and golden finish during baking.
  7. Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the pastry puffs up and the sausage rolls are golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Storage: After cooling to room temperature, store sausage rolls in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheating: To reheat, place the sausage rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. For frozen sausage rolls, add an extra 5 minutes to the reheating time.
  • Serving suggestion: Serve hot as appetizers or snacks with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or a tangy chutney.
  • Make-ahead: You can assemble the sausage rolls and freeze them unbaked for easy baking directly from the freezer.
