- 30g parsley, chopped
- 3 sprigs of thyme, leaves only
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg, freshly grated
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
🔪 Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking perfection.
- Roll out your dough on a floured surface to form 6 even rectangles, ensuring they’re large enough to accommodate the filling.

- Combine all the listed ingredients in a mixing bowl, ensuring they’re evenly distributed to create a harmonious flavor profile.
- Divide the herb sausage mixture into 6 portions, placing each portion in the center of the prepared rectangles, forming long rows along the length.
- Baste the edges of the dough once more with the beaten egg, acting as a glue to secure the filling.
- Carefully roll the dough over the meat filling, enclosing it completely and forming a tight seal. Trim any excess dough if necessary.
- Transfer the filled dough to a greased cookie sheet, ensuring they’re evenly spaced to allow for even baking.
- Make small cuts in the top of the dough using a sharp knife, creating bite-sized sections that will allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C) until the pastry begins to turn golden brown.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and continue baking for another 15 minutes until the filling is cooked through and the pastry is beautifully golden and crisp.
