Who doesn’t love a delicious sausage roll? But imagine this: the crispy puff pastry filled with juicy sausage meat, savory stuffing, and sweet cranberry sauce. Sounds heavenly, right? It’s hard to share them because they taste so amazing, but don’t worry you can make a big batch and enjoy them all! These stuffing cranberry sausage rolls are perfect for parties, cozy nights, or any occasion when you need something tasty and easy.

Method in Detail

To begin, cut your puff pastry sheet into two equal parts. This gives you two rolls to work with, ensuring that there’s plenty of room for all that delicious filling.

Next, take one of the pastry halves and spread the cranberry sauce down the middle. Be generous but don’t overdo it just enough to give a sweet, tangy kick to every bite. After the cranberry sauce, sprinkle a handful of fresh breadcrumb stuffing on top. This stuffing will add a savory depth to your rolls, balancing out the sweetness of the cranberry. Then, take your sausage meat and evenly spread it over the stuffing. Make sure it’s spread across the pastry, covering the cranberry and stuffing completely, so every bite is filled with that juicy, herby sausage flavor.

Once everything is in place, carefully fold the puff pastry over to cover the filling. This will create a roll-like shape, so make sure the edges line up neatly. To seal the pastry, crimp the edges with a fork, ensuring everything stays tightly enclosed. This is where the magic happens, as it helps keep the stuffing and sausage meat inside, preventing any leaks while cooking.

Now it’s time for the egg wash! Brush the top of the pastry roll with a beaten egg. This will give the roll that beautiful golden-brown color once cooked, making it look as appetizing as it smells. For an added touch of texture and flavor, sprinkle sesame seeds on top. These little seeds will add a satisfying crunch and a mild nutty flavor to the finished product.

Finally, place your rolls in the air fryer and cook them at 200°C for 12-14 minutes. Keep a close eye on them air fryers can vary in temperature, so check the rolls around the 12-minute mark. They should be golden, crispy, and wonderfully fragrant. Once done, you’ll know they’re perfect when they look perfectly browned and ready to eat!

Notes

Make sure to crimp the pastry tightly so the filling doesn’t spill out while cooking.
Don’t overfill the pastry! Too much stuffing or sausage meat can make it harder to fold and may cause the filling to leak out during cooking.
Keep an eye on the rolls while they’re cooking, as air fryer temperatures can vary, and you don’t want them to burn. Check at the 12-minute mark to see if they’re golden brown and crispy.
