These sausage rolls are delicious and easy to make once you’ve got our basic mince recipe down.

A quick tip: To make stale breadcrumbs, use 2 to 3-day-old bread and process in batches. To make sure you get an equal amount of filling mixture in each sausage roll, pipe it down the length of the pastry using a piping bag that is fitted with a 2 cm plain tube.

For different meat flavours, you can change up the mince by switching from beef to lamb. Add 2 tbsps Middle Eastern spice blend instead of barbecue sauce, and use coriander instead of parsley.

You can also try switching the beef to pork. Add 1⁄2 tsp celery salt, 2 tsps pounded fennel seeds and chopped dill instead of parsley. Swap fennel seeds for sesame.

Ingredients

Steps

01.

Preheat the oven to 220 C (200 C fan-forced). Line oven trays with baking paper.

02.

Combine onion, breadcrumbs, sausage mince and beef, egg, tomato paste, barbecue sauce and parsley in a large bowl.

03.

Cut pastry sheets in half lengthways. Place equal amounts of filling mixture lengthways along centre of each pastry piece (see tip, above); roll each pastry piece, from one wide edge, to enclose filling.

Cut each roll into six pieces; place rolls, seam-side down, on trays. Brush with extra egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds.

04.

Bake for 25 mins or until golden.
