    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Preheat the oven to 220°C.

    2 In a bowl, combine the fresh breadcrumbs, herbs, salt, bran flakes, onion, meat, grated potato and  the sauces.
    If you have a processor, chop the onion, add the slices of bread and pulse to crumbs, then add all the rest of the ingredients and mix in the processor.

    3 Slice each pastry sheet in half, making 6 rectangles. Scoop out some of the meat mixture and place a ‘sausage’ of mixture along the middle of each strip. Brush one edge of the strip with water, roll the pastry over and seal it together to form a long roll.

    4 Cut the rolls into four sausage rolls. Place them seam side down on a greased tray. Slash the top of each sausage roll once or twice with a serrated knife to allow steam to escape, then brush each one lightly with milk.

    5 Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until dark golden. Serve with tomato sauce for dipping.

    HFG tip

    You could add more grated vegetables if you like, but for party food my kids aren't fooled for a minute by sausage rolls with carrots or courgettes in them!
