Description

These sausage roll pastries are delicious mini appetizer bites stuffed with a mixture of pork sausage, egg, garlic, and bread crumbs.

Ingredients

1 cup cold butter, cubed
1 2/3 cups cold pastry flour
1/3 cup cold water
1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
2 large eggs, divided
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon onion powder

Directions

1 Make the dough: Combine cold flour and 1/4 of the cold butter cubes in a food processor. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add remaining butter cubes and pulse until pea-sized pieces remain. Add cold water in a steady stream and process evenly until a loose, ragged dough forms.
2 Place dough between two sheets of waxed paper. Roll dough into a rectangle, then cut into three strips.
3 Make the filling: Mix pork sausage, bread crumbs, one egg, garlic, and onion powder together in a bowl until well combined. Place 1/3 of the filling in a strip onto each piece of dough; roll dough around filling into a log. Refrigerate logs for 30 minutes.
4 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Beat remaining egg in a small bowl.
5 Cut logs into 1-inch pieces. Place pieces, seam-side down, onto a baking sheet, and brush with egg.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
