Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) lamb sausage, fresh, ½ inch thick, in a coil
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp water or milk (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) with the rack centered for uniform heating.
- Sausage Roasting: Cook lamb sausage on a lined baking sheet for 25-30 minutes, turning midway to ensure thorough and crispy cooking. Allow sausage to cool slightly.
- Pastry Preparation: Dust work surface with flour and unfold puff pastry sheets. Slice each sheet lengthwise and spread mustard evenly across pastry strips.
- Assembly: Cut cooled sausage into four segments. Position each sausage piece at pastry strip edge, rolling tightly with moistened edges to create a secure seal.
- Finishing Touches: Place rolls seam-side down on parchment-lined baking tray. Brush exterior with egg wash and score diagonal lines to create serving sections.
- Baking: Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until pastry turns golden-brown and achieves a crisp, flaky texture.
- Serving: Remove from oven, allow brief cooling, then slice along scored lines and serve warm for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Sausage Selection Matters: Choose high-quality lamb sausage with robust flavors for the best taste and texture in your pastry rolls.
- Pastry Handling Technique: Keep puff pastry chilled until just before use to maintain its delicate, flaky structure and prevent sticking.
- Egg Wash Perfection: Apply egg wash evenly with a light touch to create a stunning golden-brown exterior that looks professionally baked.
- Scoring Secrets: Gently score pastry before baking to help steam escape and create beautiful, uniform presentation when serving.
