Pastry Rolls

🥖 Savory Pastry Rolls with Mustard Dip

Ingredients

For the pastry:

• 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
• 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds

For the filling (classic sausage style):

• 1 lb ground sausage meat (or ground beef/chicken/turkey)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp paprika
• Salt & pepper to taste
• ½ cup breadcrumbs

For the dip:

• ¼ cup Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tsp honey

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling

• In a bowl, mix sausage meat, onion, garlic, thyme, paprika, salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs.
• Combine until evenly mixed.

2. Assemble the rolls

• Roll out puff pastry into a rectangle.
• Place filling in a log shape along one edge.
• Roll pastry over filling, sealing edges with a little water.
• Cut into smaller rolls (about 2–3 inches each).
• Place seam‑side down on a parchment‑lined baking sheet.
• Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
• Cut small diagonal slits on each roll for ventilation.

3. Bake

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
• Cool slightly before serving.

4. Make the dip

• Mix Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and honey until smooth.
• Serve alongside the rolls.

Tips

• Swap sausage for spiced vegetables or mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
• Add cheese to the filling for extra richness.
• Best served warm, straight from the oven.
