Instructions

400 g Sausagemeat, 80 g Dry Stuffing Mix, 3 tablespoon Apple Sauce
Unroll the puff pastry onto a board and cut it in half lengthways to create two long rectangles. Divide the sausage mixture in half and shape each portion into a long log down the centre of each pastry strip.
320 g Ready Rolled Puff Pastry Sheet
Brush egg wash along one long edge of each pastry strip. Fold the opposite side of the pastry over the sausage filling so the edges meet. Press the seam together with a fork to seal. Cut each long roll into 8 equal pieces to make 16 sausage rolls in total. Place them onto the prepared baking tray, leaving a little space between each one.
1 Egg
Use a sharp knife to make a small slit in the top of each sausage roll. Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash, and sprinkle with poppy seeds if using. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the puff pastry is golden, crisp, and cooked through.
Notes
Fully preheat the oven – High, steady heat is key for crisp, flaky pastry.
Use egg wash generously – Ensures a golden, glossy finish on the rolls.
Leave space between rolls – Allows pastry to puff evenly and prevents sticking.
Seal edges and score tops – Prevents filling from leaking and lets steam escape for perfect texture.
