Ingredients:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 4 wurstel (hot dogs)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a rectangular shape. Cut the pastry into 4 equal rectangles.
3. Place a wurstel diagonally across each pastry rectangle. Fold one corner of the pastry over the wurstel and tuck it under. Continue rolling until the wurstel is completely wrapped in pastry.
4. Seal the edges of the pastry by pressing them together with your fingers or a fork.
5. Place the wrapped wurstel on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each rustico.
6. Brush the beaten egg over the top of each rustico. This will give them a beautiful golden color when baked. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired, along with a pinch of salt and pepper for extra flavor.
7. Bake the rustici in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These puff pastry rustici with wurstel are best enjoyed warm.
Tips:
– You can customize these rustici by adding grated cheese, chopped herbs, or even a little mustard inside the pastry before wrapping the wurstel.
