sausage rolls recipe

Recipe video above. &quot;The secret is the bacon...&quot; It really takes this sausage roll to another level! Also, sautéing the onion and celery before mixing into the filling makes it sweet and more moist than the usual, and using panko instead of normal breadcrumbs also contributes to making the filling of this sausage roll so moist.The addition of fennel adds an extra burst of flavour but it&#039;s optional. Pork and fennel are great mates and though most everyday suburban bakeries won&#039;t use it, you&#039;ll find better bakeries use it (like Bourke St Bakery). If you&#039;re wary, drop it to 1/2 teaspoon. Or just skip it!

Homemade Sausage Rolls

olive oil

garlic (, minced)

brown onion (, small, finely chopped)

celery (,

fennel seeds (, toasted (optional) (Note 1))

panko breadcrumbs ((Note 2))

tsp salt

Black pepper

puff pastry

egg (, lightly whisked)

Ketchup / tomato sauce

Heat oil in a non stick fry pan over medium high heat. Sauté garlic, onion &amp; celery for 2 minutes, then add bacon.

Cook for a further 2 minutes (don&#x27;t make bacon golden) then transfer to bowl and allow to cool for 10 minutes.

Add remaining Filling ingredients into the bowl. Use your hands to mix well.

Lay out a rectangle of pastry, long edge closest to you. Brush egg along one long edge.

Get 1/5 th of the filling and shape into a long log shape down the middle of the pastry. Ensure the meat is tight and compact, without gaps.

Brush edge of pastry with egg. Then roll up, finishing with the seam side down.Roll up, sealing on the edge with egg wash on it .

If you have time/patience, refrigerate for 1 hour (makes it easier/neater to cut)

Preheat oven to 350F/180C.

Cut each log into four equal lengths, or just two if you want full size sausage rolls. Brush with egg.

Place on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper (or sprayed with oil). Bake for 30 - 35 minutes in total, swapping tray shelves at 20 minutes, or until the pastry is deep golden brown. (Note: The filling will still look pink because of the bacon, but it&#x27;s easy to tell from texture that it&#x27;s cooked)

Cool slightly on trays. Serve hot or warm with tomato sauce or ketchup!

To Cook

Savory pork sausage wrapped in puff pastry, baked to golden brown perfection. This sausage rolls recipe is the perfect make-ahead appetizer, sausage rolls are delicious served hot or cold.

English Sausage Rolls Recipe

Puff Pastry Sheet- Homemade or Store-bought- I prefer Pepperidge Farms, thawed

Mild Pork Sausage Meat

Egg & splash of water

Optional add: thyme, sage, or onion spices to the sausage meat

Preheat oven to 400F/205C and line a baking sheet with a Silpat liner or parchment paper.

In a small bowl whisk together the egg and water, set aside.

On a floured work surface place puff pastry sheet, (if using Pepperidge Farms it should already be scored into 3.) Cut pastry sheet into thirds then roll the pastry out just a bit (see the picture above).

Take a chunk of the pork sausage meat and roll it into a snake shape-just under 1/2" thick. Place the sausage on one side of the pastry, not super close to the edge- you are going to fold the other side of the pastry over the sausage meat and enclose it with the bit of pastry next to the sausage.

Before closing the pastry brush a bit of egg wash on the bottom of the pastry next to the sausage, then fold the pastry over the sausage. Using a fork to press down into the pastry to seal the pastry together.

Using a knife score the pastry with lots of little lines on top. Cut the sausage rolls about 1 1/2-2" thick. Place them on a baking sheet, making sure to space the sausage rolls evenly on the sheet. Brush with remaining egg wash.

Bake for 13 minutes then rotate the pan. Bake for another 6-9 minutes- or until the sausage rolls are golden brown. Transfer the sausage rolls to a wire rack right after you take them out of the oven.

If you make a full sized sausage rolls  how long do you cook them? At 400 degrees as well?

Fab recipe! Did this today and they are all gone... should have made more 

Thanks for the recipe.
Have you tried (e.g.) Jimmy Dean pre-cooked sausages? If so, how did you adjust the baking temp/time?

Great instructions and pictures. Thank you!

We started with the recipe as is and thought it was quite good.  We have subsequently kicked it up with the addition of mixing sage and crushed red pepper into the sausage.  Super easy to make.  It's a keeper.

My British husband gobbled these right up! Took your advice and added some additional spices. Glad I doubled the recipe! :) Thanks!

This was a fantastic recipe! The ingredients and instructions worked perfectly! Definitely adding this recipe to my family favourites

Made these for the first time over the weekend. They were delicious. First batch took me a good 20min to make (I'm a complete novice) but the 2nd batch I whipped up in just 5 minutes. Wife and kiddo loved them - especially as I used the Jimmy Dean Sage sausage meat for my preferred taste of a proper British sausage roll.

My daughter loves sausage rolls when we go home to Scotland, but she's never had them in California. With not being able to go home this year your recipe was a lifesaver.  She absolutely loved them.  You've made a 13 year old very happy and I've shared the link with cousins so that they can make them for their kids too.  Thank you so much!!!

Omg, I made these for Christmas Eve for the first time and they turned out wonderfully.  I found that they were very forgiving if you don’t fill them exactly right or cut them exactly even, it didn’t seem to matter.  This is going to be my go to for parties and gatherings , (whenever we have parties again after covid 19) because they look and taste fancy but are super easy.  THANK YOU!

Easy, filling and perfect for parties these Sausage Rolls are savory, meaty and full of just the right amount of spices that they are a hit among party guests!

Place sausage down the center of each section leaving an inch or so of pastry on either side.

Bring sides together and pinch to seal and pat down slightly, repeat with remaining sausage and dough.

Cut easy "log" 6 equal portions about 2" long and then pierce the top with a knife 2 times to create venting holes.

This recipe is so easy to make and very popular with all the family. These sausage rolls keep well in the fridge and can be eaten hot or cold.

Sausage Rolls recipe

Pampas puff pastry

500 g sausage mince

500 g premium beef mince

onion

garlic

chicken stock cube

water

Worcestershire sauce

salt and pepper *to taste

egg beaten *to glaze

g sesame seeds

Hubby says these can go in the menu rotation from now on. Absolute winner. Didn’t have celery so did a carrot instead but will probably do celery and carrot next time. Didn’t do fennel but didn’t need it. My 3yr old helped by sprinkling sesame seeds on the egg wash. She enjoyed these too and she can be a harsh critic! I ate mine with tomato sauce, American mustard, and kewpie all drizzled on top. Hubby had kewpie and mustard. Got enough leftover for lunch tomorrow so that’s a win!

Can I reheat these sausage rolls.  I made a double batch as I have two Christmas parties in the next few days and am taking them as my plate?

Dear Nagi, I hope your site continues to be fun and positive as I love all of your recipes to date and enjoy your energy. To others, we often have a lot to deal with in this life of ours. Please folks if any of Nagi’s recipes are not to your liking, be kind. We could all appreciate it. 🇨🇦✌️

Yum, yum, yuuuummmm. I only used one teaspoon of fennel but should've known better. Never doubt Nagi 😁 Will definitely use 2 teaspoons next time.

I forgot to select my stars in the last comment. 5, 5, 5 !!!

Fantastic sausage rolls!!  Made them exactly per the recipe except swapped the pork for beef mince.  Also sprinkled some sesame seeds on top before baking. Whole family loved them 🥰

I make these with beef mince as my partner can't eat pork,  and I omit the bacon, and they're amazing every time! I use a little more fennel seeds too because I love the flavour it adds!
I've also made them with added grated carrot and zucchini too and they're delicious!

I made a double batch this afternoon.  I put in 1/4 of a teaspoon of fennel in each batch as we’re not a big fan of fennel.  They were absolutely delicious…and my husband said they were  the best sausage rolls he’s ever eaten.  I would make them again.

I used Coles 3 star mince and didn’t find it overly fatty.  I couldn’t find Pampus pastry so used Borg pastry which clearly stated not to re-freeze thawed pastry so I chose to cook the double batch and froze the second batch.

Oh, gracious me, Sally's comment wasn't called for.

Nagi, I did like your flavours but not the texture that the bacon created so I'll omit the bacon next time. I chopped everything very finely, as instructed, so it wasn't that. It just isn't the "sausage" roll I'm accustomed to,  And next time I'll use a leaner pork mince because my rolls were very greasy. I bought my mince from Coles, which had only 2 varieties to choose from - their regular Home-Brand pork mince or the lean variety; I had purchased the regular one.

Easy to make and very tasty with tomato sauce! It's an easy recipe to add some hidden veg as well - I added finely chopped eggplant and some mushrooms, whatever was in my fridge and you can barely taste it so it's a good way to sneak some in! I also added some basil and rosemary instead of fennel. Very tasty!

I found these to be disgusting and not like any sausage roll I've ever eaten in my life. All I could taste was the fennel seed. Wouldn't recommend doing the fennel and wish I'd seen the note about not adding it. Ended up just eating the pastry and throwing the rest away.

Made these yesterday.  Baked half and have frozen the other half.  They are delicious.  Used the full amount of fennel seeds.  Excellent recipe.  Particularly liked not using sausage meat, due to additives.

First time ever making sausage rolls.

Made a few rookie errors when trying to assemble the sausage rolls.
I got the sheets of puff pastry out to thaw so I could roll the sausage rolls. Unfortunately they kept on thawing while I was working of the first 1/2 sheet. I should have put the sheets in the fridge until I need the next 1/2 sheet.

Took a bit of time to get the mince mixture spread evenly and round on the pastry but I got quicker and better the more I did.
When cutting each roll into 4 pieces they were not all the aame unlike Nagi's. I need more practice.

I can say when cooked they were delish and all eaten by the family in 20 mins.

My partner is Australian and swears that they have the best sausage rolls. After discovering this recipie, he now agrees (through gritted teeth) that these are the best he has ever tasted (I'm now a tad smug). I love your recipies and use them a lot, thankyou for sharing you amazing skills.

Absolutely delicious! We made these for a Derry Girls watch party and they disappeared immediately! We'd definitely make again.
