Unveiling the Essence of Sausage Rolls: Originating from British culinary traditions, sausage rolls embody a delectable combination of savory sausage filling enveloped in a buttery, flaky puff pastry shell.
Ingredients Needed:
Sourdough Rough Puff Pastry
Sausage meat
Dried herbs and spices
Baking with Sourdough Discard
Incorporating Sourdough Discard: Harnessing the tangy essence of sourdough discard enriches the pastry with a subtle cheesy undertone, enhancing the overall flavor profile. Whether sourced freshly or from older discard, the result is a delectable bake that tantalizes the taste buds.
How To Make:
Step-by-Step Guide:
Crafting the Dough: Blend butter into dry ingredients, then infuse with sourdough discard and water. Chill the dough, allowing it to rest and develop its flavors.
First Fold: Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, fold in the shorter ends, and envelop in plastic wrap for refrigeration.
Second Fold: Repeat the process, ensuring even distribution of butter throughout the dough. Chill and repeat folding for optimal texture.
Preparation: Chill the dough further, then commence the filling creation.
Shaping: Divide the dough, roll into rectangles, and generously fill with the savory sausage mixture. Seal and brush with egg for a golden finish.
Baking: Slice the rolls, then bake to golden perfection, ensuring the center reaches the desired temperature for a delectable outcome.
Pro Tips:
Opt for precise ingredient measurement by weighing instead of using cups or tablespoons.
Both active sourdough starter and discard can be utilized interchangeably.
In the absence of sourdough discard, a simple flour-water mixture can suffice.
Reheating Recommendations: For optimal enjoyment, reheat the sausage rolls in an air fryer or conventional oven, avoiding the microwave to preserve their delightful texture and flavor.
