Sausage Rolls

Directions

1. 1
   In the bowl of a food processor, soak breadcrumbs in milk until all liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
2. 2
   Add sausage (removed from their casings), garlic, onion, 1 egg, and seasonings; pulse until well-combined but not pulverized.
3. 3
   On a floured surface, roll out puff pastry into a large rectangle, about 11 x 14 or so.
4. 4
   Cut the rectangle lengthwise into three long, even strips.
5. 5
   Spoon sausage mixture down the middle of each strip, keeping it neat and away from the edge.
6. 6
   Gently bring sides of each strip together to enclose the sausage in a long roll, pinching ends to seal.
7. 7
   Place seam-side-down on a greased baking sheet, and chill until firm (10 minutes or up to an hour).
8. 8
   Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and brush the tops with egg wash (remaining 1 egg whisked with 1 tablespoon water).
9. 9
   Slice each log into inch-long pieces, getting about 12 to 15 from each roll.
10. 10
    Space apart on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until well browned and cooked through.
11. 11
    Serve with warm marinara sauce, for dipping.
12. 12
    Note: you can also freeze unbaked rolls or pieces for up to several months.
13. 13
    Bake frozen, adding a few minutes to the baking time.
