1. Place the flour, milk, butter, dry yeast, salt and sugar in a bowl, making sure that salt and yeast do not immediately touch. Mix and knead everything well for about 10-12 minutes.

2. Divide the dough into 20 equal pieces (about 45 grams each) and roll them into nice balls on a board while making a bowl of your hand. 3. Let the balls rest for about 30 minutes. 4. Now make the filling: first mix the egg with the spices, the mustard and the Worcestershire sauce. Then knead in the minced meat. And then mix with the breadcrumbs.

5. Divide the mixture into 20 equal parts (also about 45 grams each) and first make them into balls. Then roll them into sausages that are all about the same length. 6. Now roll out each dough ball into an oblong oval. 7. Place a sausage in the middle of the dough. Now fold in the short (narrow) sides first and then the long (wide) sides. Make sure the sausage is well covered. 8. Place each sausage roll, seam side down, on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. 9. Now let the rolls rest again for about 60 minutes. 10. After about 45 minutes, preheat the oven (top and bottom heat) to 220 degrees. 11. Now beat the last egg and brush the sausage rolls well with it. 12. Bake them for about 16-18 minutes until done. The baking time depends on your oven.

👉🏾 Brabant sausage rolls are usually a little bland in taste. You can, if you like it better, put less spice in them. Or just add a little more.

👉🏾 Definitely take minced meat made from half beef and half pork, because that makes the sausage tastier. Otherwise, it will be dry.

👉🏾 Once the sausage rolls are baked, they will keep for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze them (if they are already baked) and then defrost and heat them in the oven or airfryer at about 200 degrees for 3-4 minutes.

Nice to know

I've shared more of my mother's recipes before. This is another one of those. I did modify it because she did not like those hearty flavors (she simply did not taste it).

My mother was always associated with sausage rolls. She liked to bake them a lot and then put them in the freezer. If you visited her, you would invariably get sausage rolls or some other baking. At her funeral we had sausage rolls made, but they were not as tasty as she baked them.
