Lastly, epic beef sausage rolls – in Camden of all locations!

I’ve all the time favored the thought of beef sausage rolls, however the actuality by no means fairly lived as much as it. They’d simply style like meatloaf in puff pastry or have been disappointingly dry – in all probability why traditional sausage rolls are made with pork which is of course softer and juicier than beef.

However that each one modified the day I noticed the meat sausage rolls at B85 Artisan Bakery, an enthralling little artisan bakery tucked away in Camden, a semi-rural suburb on the outskirts of Sydney. A hidden gem liked by locals, they provide baked items that rival fashionable bakeries popping up throughout interior Sydney – from sourdough to focaccia, pastries to croissants.

However these beef sausage rolls. Oh my. First – they’re BIG. Beneficiant quantity of filling with layers upon layers of puff pastry. After which there’s the flavour: cheese and jalapeño. Genius. The tacky hit makes the filling outrageously moreish, whereas the little bits of jalapeño add a wee little bit of barely-there-spiciness cuts proper by the richness and provides sufficient curiosity so you realize you aren’t consuming meatloaf.

However my favorite half? The tacky, crusted ends the place the beefy filling oozes out. I wish to chunk the ends off all of them!

And, effectively, you realize the place this dialog is headed. Yup, you guessed it – I went dwelling and recreated my very own model. 🙂

And that is RTM‘s Chef Stephen mauling one (I do know, he’s bought a method with phrases, don’t he? 😂).

Substances

Right here’s what it’s good to make these assertion jumbo sausage rolls. A beef inventory dice (higher than salt!), parmesan, cheese and juicy box-grater shredded onion are my flavour secret weapons right here that pushes the savouriness of the filling into OMG territory!

Cheese jalapeño beef filling

Filling

Onion – A complete peeled brown onion, grated to maintain the items fantastic sufficient to cook dinner by with out sautéing individually. Plus, the onion juices add additional flavour and make the filling additional juicy. Tried and liked method I commonly use for household favourites like meatloaf and Italian meatballs!
Panko breadcrumbs – bigger crumbs than common breadcrumbs = softer filling. 🙂 Discover them at common grocery shops as of late (Asian part) although they’re cheaper in Asian shops!
Beef mince (floor beef) – the fattier the higher! Juicier and higher beef flavour – as a result of fats is the place all of the flavour is.
Beef inventory dice – Higher flavour than salt! This is likely one of the flavour secrets and techniques right here. I like OXO model as a result of it crumbles effortlessly into powder. You would additionally use 1 teaspoon of powder (the jar sort).
Cheddar cheese – Just like the B85 OG, I exploit cheddar cheese although actually, any shreddable cheese that melts will likely be nice right here, besides I don’t advocate mozzarella (not sufficient flavour or salt) or parmesan/pecorino and comparable (subsequent ingredient). PS Pre shredded cheese is okay right here! 🙌🏻
Parmesan cheese – I sneak in a bit for a flavour enhance which does make it slightly OTT on the savouriness scale!! So, you’ll completely survive with out it, I promise. 🙂
Pickled jalapeno – See rave above for that is so good! Discover it within the pickle aisle ($3/500g). Notice although, I’m not certain B85 makes use of pickled jalapeño, it might be contemporary. I like utilizing pickled for comfort, as a result of it’s softer (so melds higher), milder and likewise for the tang which is welcome on this in any other case quite wealthy filling.
Salt and pepper – We want slightly additional salt on prime of the inventory dice.
Egg – For binding the combination. With out, it should crumble aside.
Garlic – As a result of I couldn’t cease including flavour.

For the puff PASTRY

Frozen puff pastry – butter is healthier! It tastes higher (butter!) and puffs higher and flakes higher. The packet will say “BUTTER Puff Pastry”. If it’s silent, it means it’s made with oil which doesn’t have as a lot flavour. (Or, verify elements).

You’ll need 2 sheets. The usual Australian measurement is 24cm squares (9.5″). Use it semi-frozen nonetheless when it’s simply pliable sufficient to wrap across the filling, it’s a lot simpler to deal with and likewise simpler to chop in half.

Notice: The puff pastry within the picture above and video will not be butter puff pastry which is extra yellowy. I by chance purchased a stack of non-butter puff pastry and I’ve to make use of it up.
Egg, separated – We use the white half for sealing the pastry and the yolk for brushing to make it bake a fantastic deep golden brown, and likewise to make the sesame seeds stick.
Sesame seeds – Like B85, I like to make use of white and black sesame seeds. However you received’t be arrested if you happen to simply use one or the opposite, or go bare! (ie no sesame seeds).

How you can make B85 Beef Sausage Rolls

This base recipe makes 4 jumbo sausage rolls like those offered at B85. Or, you can also make 8 common measurement ones or 16 occasion sausage rolls.

Onion juice soaked panko – Grate onion right into a bowl utilizing a field grater. Hold all of the juices – it’s the most effective bit! Makes the filling additional juicy and attractive. Then combine in panko so it soaks up the juices (softens, puffs when cooked = softer filling).
All the things however cheese – Then add all the opposite filling elements besides the shredded cheese and blend it effectively along with your palms. Get proper in there and squeeze/squish till it’s mixed effectively.

Crumble in cheese – Add the cheese then use your fingers to sort of “crumble” it by the combination earlier than mixing firmly with palms. Cause: In case you don’t disperse first, then the shredded cheese will get squeezed into wads quite than blended evenly all through.
Logs – Take the two puff pastry sheets out of the freezer. Then divide the filling into two equal parts and form right into a go surfing the pastry.

Get together sausage rolls – make 4 equal logs by chopping every sheet in half, then lower every log into 4 to make 16 items in complete.

Roll to surround the pastry with the filling, ending with a double layer on the bottom sealed with egg white. Trim off the surplus – about 2cm / 0.8″.

Tip: paint off cuts with egg white, sprinkle with salt and plenty of parmesan, bake 20 minutes = parmesan sticks!
End – Lower every log in half to make 4 large sausage rolls in complete. Paint with egg yolk, sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

Bake half 1 – Bake for 35 minutes in a scorching 200°C/425°F (180C fan-forced). This barely increased oven temperature makes the puff pastry golden and crispy, whereas the within cooks by with out drying out.
Elevate on rack – Then, working rapidly, switch the sausage rolls to a rack and bake for an extra quarter-hour till they’re very golden.

The rack transference step is to raise the bottom out of the juices that comes out of the meat so it might turn into crispy. It’ll by no means be extremely crispy as a result of the filling is extremely juicy, but it surely’s not floppy, soggy and undercooked like too many sausage rolls are.

Get together sausage rolls – Bake half-hour on the tray, then 10 minutes on a rack on the identical temperature.

Give them 5 minutes to chill a bit so that you don’t give your self third diploma burns. Then it’s recreation on – seize the most important one for your self!

The above are B85 jumbo measurement (makes 4). Listed below are occasion sausage roll measurement (makes 16), instructions are within the recipe playing cards for these (barely shorter bake time).

And proof of juicy insides:

Sausage roll etiquette 101

In case you ever convey a knife and fork close to my sausage rolls, they’ll be confiscated! These Aussie legends should be eaten with palms, with Aussie tomato sauce (ketchup additionally acceptable).

And if you happen to’ve bought golden flaky pastry shards all down your prime, in your lap, in your hair and a hoop of them surrounding your chair, that’s how you realize you’ve eaten it proper.

I hope you get an opportunity to strive these! Whereas maybe not a precise duplicate of the B85 Jalapeño Cheese Beef Sausage Rolls (their flaky pastry alone is way superior to retailer purchased), I believe it captures the moreishness that makes them so distinctive and so memorable.

And it’s simply downright tasty. So, so good! – Nagi x
