I prefer to use sweet Italian sausage for this recipe, but you can also use other types like chorizo or breakfast sausage if you prefer.

Yes! You can assemble the rolls up to 24 hours in advance and store them in the refrigerator overnight.

Q3: How do I prevent the pastry from getting soggy?

Make sure to brush the pastry with egg wash before baking to give it a nice golden brown color and prevent sogginess.

Yes! Simply place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid. Then transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag for storage.

Q5: What’s the best way to reheat these?

I recommend reheating them in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave them for 30-60 seconds if you’re short on time.
