Sausage:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, add all sausage ingredients, and mix on medium low until fully incorporated.
  • Brown sausage in a large pan over medium high heat until cooked through. Strain excess fat and set aside.

Pizza Roll:

  • Lay puff pastry out on a lightly floured surface.
  • Spoon half of the pizza sauce on bottom half of the pastry, leaving about ½” around the edge as room to pinch closed at the end.
  • Layer half of all the toppings on top of the pizza sauce.
  • Create slits in the top half of the pastry to act as vents.
  • Pull pastry closed and seal the edges with a fork.
  • Whisk one egg until no longer streaky to create an egg wash. Lightly brush top of pastry with the egg wash.
  • Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • Lightly salt top of pastry, and place on a parchment lined sheet pan and bake at 375 F for 20 minutes.
