Method

Pastry Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Pastry

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough begins to come together. You may not need all the water. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

  3. 3

    Chill the Dough

    Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to rest.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the ground sausage meat, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Assembling and Baking

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 6

    Roll Out Pastry

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the dough into rectangles (approximately 4 inches by 6 inches).

  3. 7

    Fill the Pastry

    Place a generous amount of the sausage filling along one edge of each pastry rectangle. Be careful not to overfill.

  4. 8

    Seal and Brush

    Roll the pastry over the filling to form a log shape. Press the edges together to seal them, and use a fork to crimp the edges. Place the rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

  5. 9

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 10

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the sausage rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
