Saucijzenbroodjes, Sausage Rolls, are found everywhere in The Netherlands. School cafeterias, airports, sporting venues, and of course bakeries. However, the best ones are homemade!  My recipe is easy and will leave you with 18 of these beautiful snacks. They are great to freeze, and can easily be reheated in a 175ºC (350F) oven.

Learn how to make Dutch Sausage Rolls, or Saucijzenbroodjes. The meat is beautifully spiced, but not spicy, and the puff pastry crust is flaky and buttery. The perfect snack! They're easy to make at home, and even in the Netherlands, I thought the homemade sausage rolls were better than the storebought ones.

Instructions

Make the filling

  • Grate your nutmeg, until you have enough for 2 teaspoons.
  • In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the ground beef, sambal oelek, ground nutmeg, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and put it in the fridge for an hour.

Making the Saucijzenbroodjes

  • Take a sheet of puff pastry, and cut it into 12.5x12.5cm (5x5") squares.
  • Make a log with some (approximately 2tbsp) of ground beef, that is 12.5cm (5") long.
  • Lay the log at approximately the 1/3 mark on the square piece of puff pastry, and slightly wet the edge of the puff pastry.
  • Fold the long part of the puff pastry over the meat, and crimp the edges together with a fork
  • Repeat for the rest of the meat / puff pastry.
  • Put them in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.

Baking the saucijzenbroodjes

  • While the broodjes are in the fridge, preheat the oven to 190ºC (375F) non-convection.
  • In a small bowl, mix the eggs and milk together.
  • After they've been in the fridge for 15 minutes, take them out, put them on a lined cookie sheet, and brush them with egg wash.
  • Put them in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are a dark golden brown, and the meat is fully cooked.
