Dawns Italian Sausage Rolls Recipes

ITALIAN SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lay the puff pastry sheets out on a flat work surface. Split the sausage casings lengthwise and turn the mild sausage meat out onto 1 pastry sheet and the hot sausage meat out onto the other pastry sheet. Gently pat the meat out to fit the pastry sheets, being careful to leave a 1/2-inch strip bare on both long sides of each sheet. Top with 3 tablespoons of Romano and 5 basil leaves per sheet. Starting with 1 of the bare strips, roll the pastry tightly around the filling. The bare strip on the far end will stick to itself.
• Place the rolls in the freezer for at least 1 hour; they should be just frozen enough to make slicing easy. (The recipe can be made to this point 1 week in advance.) Slice the rolls into 1/2-inch pieces, place on baking sheets and place in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and let cool 5 minutes before serving.

• Place one of the pastry strips lengthwise in front of you. Divide the pork filling into four equal portions. Form one of the portions into a long, tubular shape and place it on the puff pastry so it reaches from long end to long end. Brush the long side of the puff pastry furthest from you with some egg wash. Roll up the puff pasty away from you and around the pork filling to create a 12-inch-long log. Pinch the seams together and transfer, seam-side down, to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pastry strips and filling. Freeze for 30 minutes to chill before baking.

PUFF PASTRY SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200c fan | 220c | 390c or equivalent.
• Roll 320g Puff Pastry out on a floured surface to about 0.25 inch thickness. Or unroll a sheet of ready rolled pastry.
• Cut the sheet into half lengthways with a sharp knife.
• Skin enough sausages to get 450g Sausage Meat. Or if using ready prepared sausage meat, split it into two and form each half into a long sausage.
• Place the sausage meat around ⅔ of the way along each pastry strip. Make sure it reaches from end to end. You can mold the sausage meat into the right shape. Make sure to press the end of one sausage into the next if you are using skinned sausage.
• Beat 1 Egg in a small bowl. Use a pastry brush to cover the large side of exposed pastry.
• Start to roll the pastry around the sausage meat starting with the unwashed smaller top section. Keep the pastry nice and tight to the sausage meat.
• Continue to roll until the meat is totally sealed. Wet your finger a little and gently press along with pastry seam - this will allow the pastry to meld together and reduce the likelihood of the pastry coming apart as it cooks.
• Using a sharp knife make gentle diagonal slashes down the whole of each roll.
• Use the same sharp knife to cut the end off of each roll to neaten it up if needed. Cut each roll into two and place the 4 rolls next to each other on the board. Use the knife to saw rather than press down or you will squash the rolls.
• Wipe the knife and cut all 4 rolls into 3 equal pieces. Wipe the knife again in between each cut. Don't forget not to press to hard.
• Move each roll to a lined baking tray, seam side down. Make sure the rolls each have ample room to expand.
• Generously egg wash the top and sides of each sausage roll. Make sure to not wash the exposed ends or sausage meat.
• Bake for 15 minutes until light golden brown. They may need slightly longer depending on your oven. Use your eyes and judgement. If your oven does not cook evenly, turn the tray midway through cooking.
• Try to let them cool a bit before serving but I think we all know they're not going to last long!

DAWN'S ITALIAN SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 bake. Clear an area on the table or counter then sprinkle with flour. Roll dough out on floured surface to a round shape,like a pizza. Keep the dough around 1/4 inch thick. Flip dough over and repeat. Do not over roll the dough or make it too thin. Once rolled out then rub the dough with the olive oil and crushed garlic. Spread the sausage on the dough but be careful not to rip the dough. Top with the remaining ingredients. Carefully, roll the dough into a log shape. To ensure the log stays closed, you may need to spread a little olive oil so the dough adheres. Then cut into 1 inch pin wheels. Place each wheel flat, on a greased 9x11 baking pan, 2 inches apart. Let stand for 10 minutes then place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Best served hot. Store in refrigerator, if there's any left. They go fast!!They can be re-heated in the microwave for 10-15 seconds but they are better when re-heated in a toaster oven. It makes them crunchy and tasty! Level: Moderate Mangia!
