Creating your Sausage Roll Wreath is a fun and straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to achieve a perfect wreath:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage meat, dried herbs, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
3. Roll Out the Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to ensure it’s smooth and slightly larger.
4. Cut the Pastry: Cut the puff pastry into strips, approximately 1 inch wide, and set aside.
5. Form the Wreath: Shape the sausage mixture into a long log in the center of the pastry. Then, wrap the pastry strips around the sausage log, overlapping slightly to create a wreath shape.
6. Seal the Edges: Pinch the ends of the pastry to securely seal the wreath, ensuring no sausage filling escapes.
7. Egg Wash: Brush the top of the wreath with the beaten egg to get a beautiful golden color while baking.
8. Add Sesame Seeds: Optional – sprinkle sesame seeds on top for an extra touch of flavor and texture.
9. Bake: Place the wreath in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
10. Cool: Once baked, allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll create a stunning and delicious Sausage Roll Wreath that will leave your guests inspired and satisfied!
