For the sausage rolls, roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a large rectangle, about 40cm x 25cm/16in x 10in. Cut in half, so that each piece measures 25cm x 20cm/16in x 8in. Have the shorter side of each piece facing you.

Shape the sausage filling into a log down the right-hand side of one piece of pastry, leaving a 1cm/½in clear margin along the surrounding three edges. Brush the right edge and the top and bottom edges with a little egg wash. Fold the pastry from the left-hand side over the filling to enclose it and press the edges together to seal, using a fork. sprinkle with the Shichimi

Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6 and line a baking tray with baking parchment.

Take the pastry rolls out of the fridge, cut each one into four even lengths, and place on the lined tray. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden-brown.
