Sausage Rolls
from Virtual Australia
6 slices of bread
1/2 cup hot water
2kg (4lb) sausage meat
1 onion finely chopped
1/2 tsp mixed herbs
(24oz) package ready rolled puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten
seasoning to taste
Remove crusts from bread and soak in a bowl of hot water for 5 minutes, then squeeze to remove excess moisture.
Combine the bread in a bowl with the sausage, onion, herbs and seasonings and place into a piping bag (icing bag).
Cut the sheets of pastry in half, and pipe the filling along the edges of the pastry.
Turn the edge of the pastry over the filling, then turn again so that the filling is completely encased in the pastry.
Repeat the process with the remaining pastry and filling.
Score the pastry at 5cm (2") intervals and brush with beaten egg.
Bake at 450F on a greased baking sheet for 20 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350F and bake an additional 10 - 15 min.
