Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for square sausage rolls.

Mention that Scottish square sausages are used but alternatives can be made from beef sausage.

Prepare egg wash by cracking 1 egg into a bowl and adding 2 tablespoons of cold water, then whisk until smooth.

Roll out the square sausages with a rolling pin to flatten slightly and cut into 4 pieces.

Place the sausage pieces onto the pastry and brush the top half of the pastry with the egg wash.

Optionally add ketchup, barbecue sauce, or brown sauce on top of the sausages.

Fold the top half of the pastry over the sausages and press down to seal, creating a well between the sausages.

Slice the pastry in half to separate the two sausages and repeat the egg wash on the new pastry surface.

Trim the excess pastry around the edges with a knife to create a seal without disturbing the layers.

Create a channel in the center of the pastry between the sausages by removing some pastry without disturbing the layers.

Brush the surface of the sausage rolls with the remaining egg wash and score the top with a knife for steam vents.

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top (or poppy seeds, or black pepper) for added texture and flavor.

Place the sausage rolls on a tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up before baking.

Preheat the oven to gas mark 6 (180°C) and bake the rolls in the middle of the oven for about 30 minutes.

If the pastry browns too quickly, cover with aluminum foil to prevent burning while cooking through.

After baking, show the inside of the sausage rolls and mention serving suggestions like mashed potatoes and beans.
