To enjoy this sausage roll, it can be eaten cold as is, or heated for a warm and more satisfying experience. For heating, place it on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at around 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is crisp and golden and the filling is heated through. Alternatively, it can be warmed in a microwave for a shorter period, though this may result in a softer pastry texture. It is best served fresh from heating.
