Sausages in Puff Pastry
Description
A delicious appetizer for any gathering. This dish is extremely easy to make! Wrap the sausages in dough, brush with egg yolk, make cuts along the sides — and bake in the oven.

Step 1
Roll out the puff pastry. Cut it into squares (approximately 12×12 cm). Each side of the square should be slightly larger than the sausage so you can eventually wrap the sausage in the pastry like a candy wrapper. You can use plain puff pastry, but for this dish I prefer yeast puff pastry because it rises well during baking in the oven and becomes crispy. If you have frozen pastry dough, be sure to thaw it first.
