Homemade Puff Pastry Recipe With Sausage Rolls

Steps:

• Place 1/4 cup butter in a food processor. Add flour; pulse until butter is completely mixed. Add remaining butter and pulse until pea-sized pieces remain. Add water evenly until a loose, ragged dough forms. Place dough between 2 pieces waxed paper and roll out into a rectangle. Cut into 3 strips.
• Combine pork sausage, 1 egg, bread crumbs, garlic, and onion powder in a bowl. Add filling to the pastry strips; roll pastry closed around the filling. Refrigerate rolls for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Cut rolls into 1-inch pieces and place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Unroll puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface, and cut each sheet into 4 pieces. Place 1 sausage into the center of 4 of the pieces of pastry. Lay the remaining 4 pastry pieces over the sausage and press the edges of the pastry together to seal tightly. Slash the top of each pastry several times with a sharp knife.
• Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl, and brush egg wash over the pastries with a pastry brush. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until deeply golden and puffed, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Grease a large baking sheet.
• In a small bowl combine breadcrumbs and milk; let stand until the milk is absorbed (about 5 minutes).
• Transfer to a processor, and add in sausage meat, onion 1 egg, garlic and oregano; using on/off turns, process until blended.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Unfold the pastry sheet onto a floured surface.
• Roll out into a 20x10-inch rectangle.
• Cut pastry crosswise into 10x4-inch strips (I use a pizza cutter for this!).
• Brush each strip with beaten egg.
• Spoon 1/3 of the sausage mixture in narrow strip lengthwise down the center of each pastry strip.
• Fold the long sides in covering the filling and overlapping slightly.
• Transfer and arrange the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
• Cover and chill until rolls are set (at least 1 hour).
• Set oven to 425°F.
• Cut each roll crosswise into 8 pieces.
• Separate pieces on the baking sheet.
• Brush with remaining beaten egg.
• Bake until rolls are puffed and golden (about 20-22 minutes).
• Serve warm with heated marinara sauce.
• Delicious!
