Lore
Matty’s handshake is a case for precision in a party-food classic. A sausage roll has nowhere to hide: the pastry must puff and seal, the filling must stay juicy without leaking, and the roll has to cut cleanly into shareable pieces. The verified record gives us Matty’s bake, Party Week setting, and Signature challenge, but not the exact formula.
