Sausage roll pockets are a delicious and savory treat that's perfect for any gathering or as a tasty snack. The combination of ground pork, crispy bacon, and flavorful BBQ sauce wrapped in flaky puff pastry makes these pockets irresistible. This step-by-step guide will help you prepare the perfect sausage roll pockets.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the finely chopped bacon and cook until the bacon is crispy and the onions are caramelized, about another 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, bread crumbs, BBQ sauce, and the onion-bacon mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together until well combined.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour to prevent sticking. Roll out each sheet of puff pastry to smooth and even them out. Cut each sheet into 6 equal squares (for a total of 18 squares).
Place about 2 tablespoons of the pork mixture in the center of each puff pastry square. Fold each corner of the pastry over the filling, pressing the edges to seal. If necessary, use a fork to crimp the edges and ensure they are completely sealed.
Place the assembled sausage rolls on the prepared baking sheets. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a golden, glossy finish. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. The internal temperature of the filling should reach at least 160°F (70°C).
Allow the sausage roll pockets to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm as a snack or appetizer!
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, consider caramelizing the onions before mixing them with other ingredients.
- Chill the sausage roll filling in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before wrapping in the puff pastry to ensure a firmer texture.
- Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with an additional egg wash before baking for an extra golden and shiny finish.
- For a bit of spice, add a pinch of chili flakes or a diced jalapeno to the filling mixture.
- Serve with a side of mustard or additional BBQ sauce for dipping.
Enjoy your homemade sausage roll pockets fresh out of the oven, with their golden, flaky crust and savory, meaty filling. They are sure to be a hit at any event and are perfect for sharing with friends and family. Make sure to serve them with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are.
