Ingredients

• 500 grams Puff pastry sheet
• 400 grams Sausage meat
• 50 grams Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 15 milliliters Milk
• 1 small (finely chopped) Onion
• 1 minced Garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine sausage meat, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly with clean hands or a fork until well integrated.

Step 3

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry into a large rectangle, roughly 30cm x 40cm.

Step 4

Cut the pastry in half lengthwise, creating two long strips.

Step 5

Divide the sausage mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a long log, approximately the same length as the pastry strips.

Step 6

Place each sausage log along one long edge of the pastry strips.

Step 7

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the milk to create an egg wash.

Step 8

Brush the exposed edges of the pastry with the egg wash, then carefully roll the pastry over the sausage meat, sealing the edges firmly.

Step 9

Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6 evenly sized pieces. For decorative effect, make small cuts or patterns on top of the pastry.

Step 10

Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 11

Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and the sausage is cooked through.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 14

Pack into an airtight container or wrap in foil for your picnic outing.
