Instructions
- Roll the Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out each sheet of puff pastry so that one side matches the length of the sausage links.

- Slice: Cut each rolled pastry into 4 equal pieces. You should have 32 bite-sized rolls in total.
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the rolls seam-side down, spaced slightly apart.
- Egg Wash & Topping: In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 Tablespoon of water. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg mixture and sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning.1 large egg, everything bagel seasoning, for topping
- Bake: Place the lined baking tray one rack above the center position of your oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Baking slightly above the center helps the tops brown beautifully and ensures even cooking. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Seal the Edges Well: Use a bit of egg wash along the edge of the pastry before rolling to ensure a tight seal and prevent unraveling during baking.
- Uniform Slicing: Use a sharp knife to cut the rolls cleanly, ensuring even baking and a professional presentation.
- Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to crisp up the pastry.
