For the puff pastry:

250g all-purpose flour, <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/lifestyle/food-travel/how-to-make-your-own-oreo-biscuits-at-home/yql755p">plus extra for dusting</a>

250g unsalted butter, cold, cut into small cubes

For the sausage filling:

1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried)

<h3>Preparing the puff pastry</h3>

<ol><li>In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the cubed butter to the flour, but do not mix too thoroughly. You want to leave chunks of butter visible; this is key for flaky pastry.</li><li>Gradually add the cold water, mixing until the dough just starts to come together. Avoid overworking the dough; it should be rough and shaggy.</li><li>On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1cm thick. Fold it into thirds, like a letter. This is your first fold.</li><li>Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.</li><li>Remove the dough from the fridge, and on a floured surface, roll it out again into a rectangle and fold it into thirds. Do this folding process a total of 4 times, chilling the dough for at least 20 minutes between each fold. After the final fold, chill the dough for at least an hour before using.</li></ol>

<ol><li>In a bowl, mix together the ground pork, onion, garlic, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.</li><li>It’s wise to <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/lifestyle/food-travel/cooking-together-5-course-meal-for-a-romantic-valentines-evening/4c8krf7">cook a small portion of the filling in a pan</a> to taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.</li></ol>

<ol><li>Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).</li><li>On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to about 5mm thick in a large rectangle shape.</li><li>Shape the sausage mixture into a long cylinder along one edge of the pastry, leaving a small border.</li><li>Brush the opposite edge of the pastry with beaten egg.</li><li>Carefully roll the pastry over the sausage meat, wrapping it fully, and seal the edge.</li><li>Cut the long roll into individual pieces, about 5cm each.</li><li>Brush the top of each sausage roll with more egg wash.</li><li>Place the sausage rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not touching. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.</li></ol>
