Instructions:

- Cut the puff pastry sheet in half lengthwise, so you have two long rectangles.

- Cut each long roll into smaller pieces, roughly 2 inches (5 cm) long, or to your preferred size.
- Place the rolls seam side down on the prepared baking tray.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with the reserved beaten egg to help them turn a golden brown during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the lamb sausage rolls to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
- Serve warm, optionally with a dipping sauce of your choice.

Lamb sausage rolls FAQ:
Use a standard baking tray that fits in your oven, typically around 18x13 inches. Ensure the rolls are spaced apart for even baking.
The rolls are done when the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky, which usually takes 20-25 minutes at 400°F (200°C). An internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for the lamb filling is also a good indicator of doneness.
Yes, you can prepare the rolls in advance and store them uncooked in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months; bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Ground beef, pork, or chicken can be good substitutes for lamb mince, though the flavor profile will change. Adjust seasoning as needed for your choice of meat.
Yes, you can customize the filling by adding ingredients like chopped garlic, spices, or different vegetables such as bell peppers or spinach, but be mindful of the overall moisture content to prevent soggy rolls.
Tips:
- Make sure the puff pastry is thawed but still cold. This makes it easier to handle and ensures it bakes up nice and flaky.
- Finely chop the onion and carrot to ensure they mix evenly with the lamb mince.
- For a golden brown finish, brush the top of the rolls with an egg wash before baking.
- Allow the mixture to chill in the refrigerator for a bit before wrapping in the puff pastry. This makes the filling firmer and easier to shape.
- You can add different herbs or spices to the lamb mixture to suit your taste. Consider adding mint, rosemary, or cumin for additional depth of flavor.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the sausage rolls to ensure clean edges.
