Sausage Roll Recipe
Description
The Sausage Roll Recipe starts by mixing ground pork with salt, freshly ground black pepper, coriander, ground nutmeg, breadcrumbs, and water to achieve a slightly moist, meatloaf-like texture. It is important to add enough water for the mixture to hold shape without becoming too wet. The seasoned meat is shaped into logs sized according to preference, from small cocktail to large rolls.
Frozen puff pastry (preferably all-butter) is rolled out and cut into rectangles sized appropriately for the meat logs. The meat is placed near one edge of the pastry, then the pastry is folded over and sealed by pressing edges with a fork. A beaten egg wash can be applied for a shiny golden crust. These sausage rolls are baked in a 400°F (200°C) oven until pastry is crisp and golden and the filling is cooked through.
Sausage rolls provide a hearty, savory snack or meal component with a flaky crust and spiced pork filling. They can be served warm or at room temperature. Excess filling can be shaped into patties for breakfast sausage. For freezing, underbaking slightly allows for browning when reheated.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ tsp salt sea salt (more or less according to the saltiness of the salt you use)
- ¾ tsp black pepper freshly ground
- ¾ tsp Coriander (dried, do not use cilantro)
- ½ tsp nutmeg ground
- 1 c plain breadcrumbs dry
- 1 c water (or less)
- 1 lb ground pork
- 18 oz puff pastry frozen, like Trader Joe's (all butter is best) or homemade
- 1 egg slightly beaten (omit for egg-free, white
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400º F (200º C)
- In a large bowl, mix together the salt with all the spices and breadcrumbs, and then the pork meat.
- Add the ground pork, and about ½ cup water. Using your hands, mix all the ingredients together until it has a meatloaf texture, adding water as needed. The sausage should hold together when squeezed, without being too wet.
- Unroll the puff pastry on a clean counter, mat or board and roll to make a little larger if desired. Cut into rectangular pieces, depending on the size of the rolls you want to make. You can make small, cocktail size to large sausage rolls. Alternatively, you can make a long roll, and cut into the size desired.Shape some meat into logs, and place close to one end of the pastry, but don’t put too much meat or they will burst open when baking.
- Wet one edge of the pastry and fold the other end over the sausage meat. Press down on the edge of the pastry with the tip of fork tines to seal.
- Continue to finish all of the sausage meat and puff pastry.
- Make 2 or 3 sharp slits on the top of each sausage roll, then place on silicone or parchment lined baking trays.
- Brush with slightly beaten egg white, then place into preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown. Turn trays around and switch levels after 15 minutes for best results and even cooking of the sausage rolls.
- Remove from oven and place on cooling rack for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For freezing, bake the sausage rolls slightly underdone to allow for reheating and browning later.
- Use all-butter puff pastry for best flavor and texture.
- Leftover sausage meat can be shaped into patties and cooked as breakfast sausage.
- Adjust salt amount according to the saltiness of your salt source, such as sea salt.
