Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 °. Mix yolks and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl until smooth. Gently roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface just to press out any creases; brush with egg wash. Cut into 8 long strips. Lightly dust sausages with flour. Working one at a time, wrap pastry around sausage, egg wash side facing in. If pastry becomes too soft, chill until firm before continuing.
-
Place rolled-up sausages on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut side down. Mix baking soda into remaining egg wash and brush over pastry (this will give dough a sheen); sprinkle with salt and poppy seeds. Chill 15 minutes.
-
Bake until pastry is puffed and golden brown, 25 –30 minutes. Let cool. Slice into bite-size portions and serve with mustard.
-
Do ahead: Sausages can be rolled in pastry 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with salt and poppy seeds just before baking.
