Method

  1. Prepare the bread mix following pack instructions. While the dough rises, make the filling. Skin the sausages and roll the meat into small meatballs, about 6-8 per sausage. Heat a large deep frying pan and brown the sausages. You may need to do this in batches. Once they're all brown, return them to the pan and pour in the beans. Mix to combine, then allow to cool a little while you roll the dough.
  2. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Grease 2 or 3 large, flat baking sheets. Divide the dough into 12 and roll out each one to a circle, roughly 17cm in diameter - and keep the remaining balls of dough covered with oiled cling film or a damp tea towel.
  3. Taking each circle in turn, fill with a scoop of the bean mix and a little of the grated cheese. Fold in half, pressing well to seal. Crimp the edges then transfer to an oiled baking tray. Keep covered with oiled cling film while you make the rest. Brush with a little beaten egg and cook for 15-20 mins until puffed up and golden.
  4. Remove and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack. Eat warm or at room temperature. If you would like to freeze the pasties, completely cool and freeze in a single layer on a flat tray covered well. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag and seal well.

    These were pretty easy to make once I got the hang of how much filling you could fold into a pasty shape. I did have a bit of mixture left at the end. I froze the pasties individually and they are now coming in very handy for packed lunches. I take one out of the freezer in the morning, its defrosted by lunchtime and a quick microwave seems to work ok, though admittedly it makes the bottom a bit soggy. I'm sure the oven heating method would be much better.

    The main taste you get is beans, I get a little taste of sausage when I am eating one but don't taste the cheese at all. Plenty of filling for my six though. I am glad I only made half the recipe as I will not be making it again. A reasonable lunchbox standby ready in the freezer. Mine get a soggy bottom too - but no alternative than the microwave at work.

    I would add/use Bacon Lardons or chopped Bacon to mixture. Garlic, onion, seems a bit plain to me and make the bread, easy with foolproof recipe and breadmaker!!

    I made these with Cauldron veggie sausages for a vegetarian version. I keep them in the freezer for a weekend breakfast or lunch - they reheat beautifully in the oven.

    I changed this recipe quite a bit. I made scrammbled egg to go with the filling and i also fried off some onion. Seasoned with pepper. I let all the ingredients go cold before assembling to stop the pastry from getting hot and splitting. I didn't put cheese in the pasties but i grated some on top half way through cooking. This worked very well and I would do them again.
