Puff Pastry Sausage Roll Recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb pork sausage ▢1 tsp dried basil ▢1 tsp dried oregano ▢1 tsp dried thyme ▢salt and pepper to taste ▢17 oz frozen puff pastry thawed ▢2 eggs beaten ▢poppy seeds

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together sausage, basil, oregano, and thyme, until all the seasonings are evenly distributed. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions and set aside. On a floured surface, unfold the pastry dough and gently roll it out to slightly thin. Cut it into 3 long rectangle sections

Place sausage down the center of each section leaving an inch or so of pastry on either side. (The meat mixture was divided to help spread it evenly. Add two meat portions to each pastry rectangle.)

Bring the sides together, pinch to seal, and pat down slightly. Repeat with the remaining sausage and dough. Turn over (seam side down) and cut each "log" into 6 equal portions about 2" long.

Cut slits into each piece, brush the top with egg, and sprinkle on sesame seeds. Place on a baking sheet, about one inch apart. Bake at 375°F for 17-19 minutes, or until golden brown and the meat is cooked. Serve warm or cold, and ENJOY! NOTE: Rolls can also be put in the freezer to be baked later.
