Instructions:
- Combine flour and salt for pastry.
- Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs for pastry.
- Gradually add ice water, mixing until dough just comes together for pastry.
- Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour for pastry.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat to prepare filling.
- Sauté onion until softened, about 5 minutes to prepare filling.
- Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute to prepare filling.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly to prepare filling.
- In a large bowl, combine roast beef, Gouda, sautéed onion mixture, horseradish mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well to prepare filling.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper to assemble the rolls.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry into a large rectangle, about 12x16 inches (30x40cm) to assemble the rolls.
- Spread the roast beef and Gouda filling evenly over the pastry, leaving a ½-inch (1cm) border along one long edge to assemble the rolls.
- Starting from the opposite long edge, tightly roll up the pastry into a log to assemble the rolls.
- Brush the exposed border with egg wash to seal to assemble the rolls.
- Cut the log into 12 equal slices (rolls) to assemble the rolls.
- Place the rolls, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet to assemble the rolls.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with egg wash to assemble the rolls.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
