Ingredients

Pastry Dough

1½ cup blanched almond flour
1/2 cup arrowroot starch or tapioca starch
1/2 tsp sea salt
6 tbsp cold butter or cold palm shortening, cut into chunks
2 large eggs divided
1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Sausage Filling

1/2 lb pork sausage meat removed from casing
1/2 tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp fresh thyme

Instructions

In a food processor, add almond flour, arrowroot starch, and sea salt, then pulse until combined evenly.
Add butter, 1 egg, and apple cider vinegar, and pulse several times until a dough starts to form. It should stick together when you pinch it.
Wrap the dough in a plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes - 1 hr.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Make the sausage filling by combining all its ingredients together in a bowl. Break up the sausage then mix together.
Remove the dough from the fridge, then roll it out between 2 large parchment papers. Using your hands to shape, if needed, roll into a long rectangle about 4½ in x 18 in. Remove the top parchment paper.
Place the sausage filling lengthwise evenly into a long log at the center of the pastry rectangle.
Using the bottom parchment paper to carefully lift one side of the dough, fold the pastry over the meat filling then pinch down at the seam on the other side to seal into a long roll. If you want, you use a fork to press down on the seal to make small indents on the side.
Cut the log into 1½ inch pieces so you have about 14 sausage rolls. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Crack an egg into a bowl, then whisk. Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with the egg wash.
Bake for 25-35 minutes until golden brown and flaky. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Expert Tips

Alternative Meat: Pork sausage rolls are the classic traditional variety, but if you want to use another meat, you totally can!
Dough: Keep in mind, while this gluten free puff pastry may not feel as sturdy as regular pastry dough, it actually holds up very nicely once it's fully baked!
Egg Wash: Don’t forget about the egg wash! This helps the pastry get that crispy, golden brown texture.
Variations: Because these have such simple ingredients, they are easy to change up and make different flavor combinations! Add some spice with red pepper flakes or you can even mix some vegetables in it like onions, mushrooms, celery, and carrots.

Serving Tips

Serve as an appetizer or side dish for a holiday, game day gathering, or really any occasion!

Storage Tips

Leftovers: Once baked, these homemade gluten free sausage rolls will keep for up to 4 days in an airtight container in the fridge. To reheat, you can microwave, air fry, or place back in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
Freeze: Once you wrap the sausage in the pastry dough and cut it into pieces, you can freeze it in a freezer-safe container for up to a month. You can bake from frozen too. Just brush the top with the egg wash, then bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
