Ingredients
- -1 sheet of puff pastry, thawe
- -1 pound (450g) of ground sausage (or pre-cooked sausages
- -1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend)
- -1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or oregano)
- -1 teaspoon garlic powder
- -1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional topping)
- Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the pastry from sticking and set aside.
- If you’re using ground sausage, heat a pan over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked through.
- If using pre-cooked sausages, chop them into small pieces.
- Once the sausage is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Stir in the shredded cheese, Italian herbs, and garlic powder, mixing until everything is evenly combined.
- Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet. Make sure it’s large enough to fold over the filling without it spilling out.
- Spread the sausage and cheese mixture evenly down the center of the pastry, leaving a little space on the edges for folding.
- Fold the sides of the pastry over the filling, and then carefully roll it into a log shape, sealing the edges as you go.
- Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish, and sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on top if desired.
- Place the pastry onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
