Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Filling
- In a bowl, combine sausage meat, ssamjang, minced garlic, spring onion, gochugaru, sugar, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
- Transfer the sausage mixture into a piping bag or ziplock bag for easier shaping.
Shape the Wreath
- Unroll the puff pastry and cut 3 inches off each sheet to create a 12-inch x 6-inch rectangle.
- With the long edge facing you, cut lengthwise down the centre to create two pastry strips.
- Pipe a line of sausage filling about 1 inch from one edge of each strip.
- Roll the pastry over the filling, brush exposed pastry with egg wash, and continue rolling into a neat log with the seam underneath.
- Mark 8 equal sections along each log and cut incisions two-thirds of the way through, without cutting fully through.
- Repeat with remaining pastry and filling.
- Join both logs together on a baking tray and shape into a circle, sealing the ends to form a wreath.
- Gently twist each section so a little sausage filling faces upwards.
Bake
- Brush the wreath with beaten egg.
- Sprinkle generously with roasted sesame seeds.
- Bake at 180°C fan for 35 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Make the Spicy Mayo
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, chilli oil, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Serve alongside the warm sausage roll wreath.
Notes
- Keep the pastry cold before shaping for cleaner rolling.
- Ssamjang gives deep savoury flavour, so no extra salt is usually needed in the filling.
- Best served warm when the pastry is crisp.
