Saucijzenbrood

Saucijzenbrood is a traditional Dutch pastry consisting of seasoned ground meat, typically pork, encased in puff pastry. The name is derived from the Dutch word saucijs, meaning sausage, which originates from the French saucisse. Unlike the similar worstenbroodje, where the sausage is wrapped in bread dough, saucijzenbrood uses a flaky, buttery puff pastry, giving it a richer texture. These sausage rolls are commonly found in bakeries, fast food outlets, and train stations across the Netherlands, where they are often eaten warm as a snack or light meal, typically served with soup or salad.
