Place the pastry on a floured work surface and roll out into a 30cm long by 15cm wide rectangle. Remove the sausage mix from the fridge and form into an even sausage shape, approximately 30cm in length

400g of puff pastry, good quality, all butter

Preheat the oven to 190°C/gas mark 5

Place the sausage in the middle of the pastry, so the ends are touching the edges of the pastry. Brush the pastry with the egg yolk, then wrap the pastry around the sausage. Carefully transfer to a baking tray, brush evenly with some more egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds

2 egg yolks
2 tbsp of sesame seeds

Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden, then remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. While still warm, slice into portions and, if preferred, serve warm with some cranberry relish
