Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Gluten Free
Serves: 10 Sausage Rolls
Ingredients
- 1 sheet gluten-free pastry
- 1 pound sausage meat
- 1 egg, beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the sausage rolls from sticking.
- On a clean, flat surface, roll out the gluten-free pastry sheet to ensure it's even and thin. If the pastry is too thick, the sausage rolls may not cook evenly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage meat with salt, pepper, and herbs (if using). Mix thoroughly until the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the meat.
- Divide the sausage mixture into 10 equal portions. Roll each portion into a log shape, approximately the length of the pastry sheet.
- Place a sausage log at one end of the rolled-out pastry. Make sure to leave enough space at the edges to seal the rolls.
- Brush the edge of the pastry with the beaten egg. This will help to seal the pastry and keep the filling secure.
- Carefully roll the pastry over the sausage log, tucking it in tightly as you go. Once fully rolled, press the edges to seal them securely.
- Repeat the process with the remaining sausage mixture and pastry, ensuring all rolls are sealed well.
- Place the sausage rolls seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
- Once baked, remove the sausage rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious gluten-free sausage rolls!
Tips
- Always ensure your gluten-free pastry is at room temperature before rolling to prevent cracking.
- Use a light touch when handling the pastry to keep it tender and prevent toughness.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different herbs like thyme, rosemary, or sage in your sausage mixture.
- Make sure to seal the edges of your rolls tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- If the pastry seems too dry, you can add a tiny bit of olive oil to help with flexibility.
- Use a sharp knife to create small venting slits on top of the rolls to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- For a more golden finish, use an egg wash made from a whole egg mixed with a splash of milk.
- Let the rolls rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the filling to set and make cutting easier.
