Cheese And Pickle Sausage Roll Recipes

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone on the middle oven rack and preheat to 500˚ F. Place a baking sheet on top of the pizza stone.
• Warm the olive oil in a small skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the sage, red pepper flakes and garlic. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly; season with salt.
• Divide the sausage into 16 small balls. Cook in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Divide the dough into 16 balls (about 2 inches each). Flatten and shape each into a 3 1/2-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Put 1 piece of cooked sausage in the center of each round and top each with a few cubes of cheese. Very lightly brush the edges of the dough with water. Bring the edges of the dough toward the center, lightly pleating to form a tight package; pinch to seal. Turn seam-side down; using a metal skewer dipped in flour, make a hole in the center of each dough ball to create a steam vent.
• Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and carefully line with parchment paper; place the dough balls on the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Brush liberally with the sage oil. Transfer the baking sheet to the pizza stone and bake 5 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake until the rolls are golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with more sage oil. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately with the remaining sage oil for dipping.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the cheeses together. Mix through the pickle and English mustard powder. Unravel the pastry on a lightly floured surface, spread the cheese mixture over and tightly roll into a sausage shape from the longest side. Trim off the ends. Cut into 10 rounds and put on a lined baking sheet (swirl-side up), brush with the egg and bake for 15-20 mins or until golden brown. Leave to cool a little before eating.

Steps:

• To make the pastry, sift the flour into a large bowl, then stir in the mustard powder, cayenne and 1 tsp salt. Grate the butter into the flour, dipping the end of the block in flour from time to time to prevent it from clumping. Stir the flour and butter together using a table knife, then pour in 120ml ice cold water, mix and bring together to form a dough. Flatten the dough into a disc, wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the filling. Cook the potatoes in a pan of salted water until tender, then drain and steam dry for a few mins before mashing and leaving to cool. Melt the butter in a frying pan until foaming. Add the onions and a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, over a medium heat until they're completely soft and starting to caramelise. Add to a bowl with the potato. Once cool, stir in the thyme leaves, mustard, cheese and gherkins or pickled onions, and season to taste. Set aside.
• Line a baking tray with baking parchment. On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry out into a large rectangle around 3mm thick. Cut the pastry into eight rectangles, then divide the filling equally between them, squashing it into a sausage shape down the long length of one side of each rectangle, leaving a 5cm gap at each end. Brush the exposed pastry with a little egg, then fold in the short sides of the rectangle and roll the empty half of pastry over the filling so that it is completely encased. Press the edge to seal it, then crimp the two shorter ends with a fork. Repeat with each roll, then transfer to the lined baking tray and chill in the fridge for 20 mins. Can be frozen at this point.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Take the rolls out of the fridge, brush all over with the beaten egg, then scatter with the nigella seeds. Bake on the top shelf of the oven for 40 mins or until deeply golden and crisp. Serve hot or cold with your choice of sauce.

Steps:

• Make up the bread mix following pack instructions. Set aside somewhere warm-ish to rise, in a bowl covered with oiled cling film, while you get everything else ready. Slice the cooked sausages into just under 1cm slices.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle roughly 50 x 30cm. Brush with half the garlic butter and scatter over the spring onions, cheese and sausages. Roll up the dough tightly from one of the longest sides, like a Swiss roll. Use a sharp, floured knife to cut the roll into 12 pieces. Wipe the holes of a 12-hole muffin tin with a little more melted butter. Push a roll of bread, cut-side up, into each hole. Dab the remaining butter over the tops, and cover loosely with oiled cling film. Set aside somewhere warm-ish for 30 mins to puff a little.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the rolls for 20-25 mins until golden and risen. Cool in the tins for 10 mins, then lift out to eat warm, or cool completely.
