Sausage Rolls Recipe

Sausage Rolls to die for

Do you want a recipe that requires little effort? How about some sausage rolls that are to die for? No need to slave away making dough either. All you need is pre-made croissant roll! These come very easily in any supermarket. I came across this recipe online while looking for ideas for small party foods. This recipe takes no time at all and the results are always fantastic! Over time I have adapted it to ensure perfect flavour and crunch. Whenever it comes to what kind of sausage to use for this, within the Netherlands, using Party Knacks is a must. But if you are in the UK, just any mini chipolata sausage will work perfectly. Another part of this recipe I have adapted over time is the type of mustard to use inside. I find that having a thin layer of mustard within these rolls makes the sausage flavour pop.

Type of mustard

But what type of mustard? Trial and error have brought me to the all-mighty dijon mustard. I used multigrain mustard for a while but found that it overpowered the taste. Instead of eating a sausage roll with a hint of mustard, it was a mustard roll with a hint of sausage. That’s not the idea! I found that dijon mustard gave that delicious mustard taste but not overpower the overall flavour.

Equipment I use

In order to make these delicious and simple sausage rolls, the equipment I use is very simple. A basic baking tray is ideal for putting these bad boys in the oven, and an egg-wash brush is helpful to coat the rolls in a layer of egg to add extra crunch and that irresistible golden brown shine! Why not add a delicious cake to go along with these little snacks? You'll have an incredible party going in no time!

Ingredients

• 18 Party sausages
• 1 Croissant roll dough (tin)
• 1 tbsp Mustard
• 1 Egg (wash)

Optional

• Sesame seeds (for topping)

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 190°C.
2. On a floured surface, roll the croissant dough out. Per triangle of croissant roll, cut twice to create 3 triangles. Do this for all pre-made croissant triangles.
3. Take mustard and spread it across all the croissant roll evenly.
4. Take each party sausage and place it at the thickest end of the triangle. Roll from end to tip ensuring the sausage is secured inside.
5. Place each croissant sausage roll onto a tray lined with baking paper. TIP! Create them in a wreath shape for a good place to place dip!
6. Beat egg and wash over the croissant rolls using an egg-wash brush. If adding anything optional, do this now! Cook in the oven for 18 minutes or until nice and golden brown.
7. Remove and let cool on the tray for a minute or two. Transfer to a plate and serve with sauce of choice!
