The Best Sausage Rolls
Description
This recipe starts by properly thawing puff pastry, cut into rectangles, and filling each with a well-mixed blend of pork sausage, Italian bread crumbs, milk, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. The mixture is formed into a long tube on each pastry piece, which is then rolled and sealed to encase the filling. After cutting into portions, the rolls are placed on parchment-lined trays, brushed with an egg and water wash, and sprinkled with paprika for color and flavor.
Initial baking occurs at a high temperature of 425°F to set the pastry, then the oven is reduced to 350°F to cook the filling through without burning the crust. The result is a tender, juicy sausage interior wrapped in golden, flaky pastry with a slightly crisp surface. The garlic and paprika seasonings create savory complexity without overpowering the pork.
These sausage rolls are ideal served warm as appetizers, snacks, or part of a larger meal. Their handheld size makes them convenient for sharing occasions.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork sausage Jimmy Dean Premium brand
- 1 package puff pastry frozen
- 3/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
For the egg wash:
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Be sure to follow the directions on the puff pastry package so your dough is thawed properly and is ready to use. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Unfold dough onto a lightly floured surface. You should have 2 big squares. Cut each square in half to create 4 long rectangles.
- Combine the Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Sausage, bread crumbs, milk, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper in a large bowl or food processor and mix until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Divide the sausage mix evenly into 4 sections and make a long tube down each rectangle pastry.
- Roll the pastry up over the Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Sausage and pinch the seam side together. Cut each roll into 4 sections with a sharp knife.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the sections on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Mix the egg wash together and brush each roll with it. Then sprinkle on a little paprika.
- Bake at 425 for only 5 minutes. Then reduce heat to 350 and bake 30-35 more minutes. The rolls should look puffed and golden and the sausage in the center should be cooked through.
- Allow them to cool for 10 minutes then serve.
- These are traditionally eaten plain or dipped in ketchup. They are also delicious dipped in barbecue sauce, marinara, alfredo sauce, country gravy, and cheese sauce.
