Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 375 g Puff pastry A light and flaky base that wraps all the flavors beautifully.
  • 6 Sausages Choose your favorite type for a good mix of flavors and textures.
  • 40 g Stuffing mix Adds a delightful herbaceous note that complements the sausage perfectly.
  • 75 ml Water Freshly boiled; helps to activate the stuffing mix for optimal flavor.
  • 3 tablespoon Cranberry sauce Provides a sweet contrast to the savory filling; it’s a must for Christmas sausage rolls!
  • 1 Egg Whisked; for brushing on top to achieve a golden glaze.
  • 1 tablespoon Poppy seeds Adds a nice crunch and a touch of elegance to your sausage rolls.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 3mm thick. Cut it into rectangles, approximately 10 cm x 15 cm.
  3. In a bowl, combine the sausages (removed from their casings), stuffing mix, and freshly boiled water. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
  4. Place a generous spoonful of the sausage mixture onto one end of each pastry rectangle. Add a dollop of cranberry sauce on top of the sausage filling.
  5. Roll the pastry over the filling to form a log, sealing the edges by pressing them together. Be sure to leave the ends open for a beautiful finish.
  6. Brush the top of each roll with the whisked egg and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
Baking
  1. Place the rolls on the lined baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
  2. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Serve these sausage rolls warm for a delightful party snack, or as an appetizer at holiday gatherings. Pair them with cranberry sauce or apple chutney for an extra festive touch. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
