SAUSAGE ROLLS

This quick and easy recipe is a must for winter suppers, lunches or weekend snacks.  Sausage Rolls!  Made with your favourite sausages and a peppery version of the fathead pizza dough, they come out of the oven crispy, golden brown and delicious and won't last long.  I use my favourite sausages from my local butcher or some plain pork sausages from M&S, but you can use any sausages you like - just try to get a high meat content and lower fat content to prevent the rolls from being greasy and soft.  These lovely sausage rolls come in at just 3.6g net carbs each. 


Ingredients - 8 Sausage Rolls

  • 8 Sausages
  • 250g Grated Mozarella
  • 50g Coconut Flour
  • 1.5 tsp Baking Powder
  • 0.5 tsp Xanthan Gum
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 Large Eggs (whisked lightly) 
Method
  • Preheat your oven to 170*C
  • Microwave the mozzarella in 30-second bursts until it is thoroughly melted and there are no lumps remaining.  Be careful not to overcook, or you will burn the cheese.
  • Thoroughly mix the dry ingredients together and add this, with 3/4 of the whisked eggs, to the melted cheese.  Retain the other 1/4 of the whisked egg mix.
  • Mix well together with a wooden spatula.  I find squidging the mixture between my fingers is best for distributing the ingredients evenly.
  • Drop the dough onto a silicone sheet or sterilised worktop and knead for a couple of minutes until the dough resembles an even and smooth dough.  Cut it into two equal pieces.  
  • Allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes whilst you take the skin off each of the sausages
  • Then add a little coconut flour to your hands and rolling pin and roll out each piece of the dough to a rectangle wide enough and long enough to be able to completely cover 4 sausages with just a slight overlap.  Repeat with the second half of the dough.
  • Add one skinless sausage to each piece of dough and roll up into a sausage roll shape with only a small dough overlap.  Place the sausage roll on a lined baking sheet, with the dough join at the bottom.  Make a couple of decorative cuts in the top of the dough on each sausage roll.
  • Using the remaining 1/4 whisked egg mix, lightly brush each sausage roll to encourage a deep brown and glossy finish.
  • Bake in the centre of the oven for 25 minutes, then turn the oven down to 150*C and bake for a further 10 minutes.
Enjoy!
