Instructions

1
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes, or until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the leek and continue cooking for 4 minutes, or until softened. Remove from the heat and spread evenly over a tray. Set aside to cool slightly.
2
Remove the sausage meat from the casings by pinching and squeezing it into a medium bowl. Add the onion mixture, thyme, pepper and 1 egg. Mix until well combined.
3
Place the remaining egg and water in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
4
Insert the wire rack into position 7. Select Phase Cook for P1 and set the oven to Bake, Convection, 400°F, for 10 minutes. Press Confirm for P2 and set the oven to Bake, Convection, 365°F, for 15 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
5
Shape half of the sausage filling into a log along the center of one of the pastry sheets. Brush one edge with a little of the egg wash. Fold the pastry in half to enclose the filling. Trim the edge with a knife, using a fork to seal the edge. Repeat with the remaining pastry and filling. Cut each roll into 6 pieces.
Tip: If the pastry softens and becomes hard to handle, place the rolls in the freezer for 5 minutes to firm up before cutting.
6
Lightly grease the pizza pan and line with parchment paper. Arrange half the sausage rolls on the pan. Brush with a little of the egg wash and sprinkle with fennel seeds and salt flakes. Refrigerate the remaining sausage rolls until ready to bake.
7
Once preheated, place the pan in the oven and cook for 10 minutes in P1. The oven will automatically switch to P2. Halfway through cooking in P2 rotate the pan.
8
The pastry should be golden and flaky. To test if the filling is cooked, insert a digital thermometer into the center, it should read a minimum of 160°F. If not, cook it a little longer. Repeat cooking the remaining sausage rolls.
9
Serve the sausage rolls warm with tomato ketchup for dipping.
