Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Tip: A hot oven ensures the pastry puffs up beautifully and gets crispy.
- 2
Heat olive oil in a large pan and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic for about 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Tip: This releases the flavors that will season your sausage filling.
- 3
Add the ground sausage meat to the pan, breaking it up as it cooks, until it's completely browned, about 5 minutes.
Tip: Don't skip browning the meat, it adds depth and removes excess moisture.
- 4
Stir in the chili flakes, paprika, salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs. Mix well and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
Tip: The breadcrumbs help bind the filling and prevent it from being too wet during baking.
- 5
Lay one pastry sheet on your work surface and spread half the sausage mixture in a thick line along one long edge, leaving a 2 centimeter border.
Tip: Don't overfill or the pastry will burst open as it bakes.
- 6
Roll the pastry tightly around the filling, then cut into 8 equal pieces. Place seam side down on your prepared tray. Repeat with the second pastry sheet and remaining filling.
Tip: Cutting with a sharp knife prevents the pastry from tearing.
- 7
Brush the top of each roll with beaten egg, then bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
Tip: The egg wash gives them a beautiful golden finish and helps them brown evenly.
- 8
Let cool for 5 minutes on the tray before serving warm or at room temperature.
Tip: They firm up slightly as they cool, making them easier to handle.

Beergarita
My go to drink for summer gatherings is this refreshing Beergarita, and let me tell you, it's a total crowd pleaser. The combination of tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and a cold Corona creates something that tastes way more complicated than it actually is. Lime juice is packed with vitamin C, which is great for your immune system, and the whole thing takes just five minutes to throw together. Best part? It's incredibly budget friendly since you're probably already stocking most of these ingredients anyway.
