Italian Sausage In Puff Pastry Recipes

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.

EASY PUFF PASTRY SAUSAGE ROLLS

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.

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.
