Take the partially thawed puff pastry sheets. If using large sheets, cut each sheet in half lengthwise. Divide the sausage mixture into long log shapes, roughly the length of your pastry halves.

Place a sausage log along one long edge of a puff pastry half. Fold the puff pastry over the sausage log, enclosing it. Use a fork to press and crimp the edges of the pastry to seal the sausage roll. Roll the pastry to fully enclose the sausage log, creating a long roll. Repeat with the remaining pastry and sausage mixture.

Using a knife, cut each long sausage roll into smaller, individual portions (typically 3 pieces per long roll). Place the cut sausage rolls onto the prepared baking trays.

Make a few diagonal slits across the top of each sausage roll to allow steam to escape and ensure crispiness. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1 egg to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash generously over the top surface of each sausage roll, then sprinkle with the mixed white and black sesame seeds.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage rolls are golden brown and the pastry is puffed and crispy. The internal temperature of the sausage should reach 74°C (165°F).
