Sausage Rolls
Ingredients
700g minced sausage
140g (2 cups) fresh breadcrumbs (made from day-old bread)
1 egg, lightly whisked
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh sage
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 quantity puff pastry
1 egg, lightly whisked, extra
1 tbsp sesame seeds
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
2. Combine the sausage mince, breadcrumbs, egg and sage in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Place the mince mixture in a piping bag fitted with a 2cm-diameter plain piping nozzle.
3. Roll out the pastry to a 30 x 35cm rectangle, about 2mm thick. Use a small sharp knife to trim the edges. Pipe one-third of the mince mixture down the longest edge of the pastry. Roll to enclose and form a log. Cut the log free from the pastry and cut it crossways into 5cm lengths. Place rolls on the lined tray. Repeat with remaining mince mixture and pastry to make 14 more sausage rolls. Brush the top of each sausage roll with the extra egg and sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden and the sausage mince is cooked though.
