4.1 from 2 reviews

Delicious and easy-to-make sausage rolls with seasoned sausagemeat wrapped in flaky puff pastry, perfect for snacks or parties. These golden, plump rolls are brushed with egg for a shiny finish and baked to perfection in just 25 minutes.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 16 sausage rolls

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 350 g Sausagemeat (preferably seasoned or plain pork sausage meat)
  • 320 g Rolled sheet of puff pastry
  • 1 Egg (beaten, for brushing)

Seasonings

  • 1 tsp Dried sage
  • 1 tsp Dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 220℃/425°F fan, 240℃/475°F conventional, or Gas Mark 9 to ensure it’s hot enough for a crisp, golden bake.
  2. Prepare Sausagemeat: In a bowl, combine the sausagemeat with dried sage, dried thyme, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly using a fork to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  3. Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the sheet of puff pastry if not already flat, then cut it lengthwise down the middle to form two long strips.
  4. Shape Sausage Filling: On each pastry strip, place half of the seasoned sausagemeat in a long sausage-like shape along the middle. Using clean hands helps to shape it evenly and tightly.
  5. Brush Edges with Egg: Brush one long edge of each pastry strip with beaten egg to help seal the pastry when rolled.
  6. Roll Pastry: Carefully roll the pastry around the sausage filling, keeping it tight and firm. Seal the edge by pressing with a fork all along the join to ensure it stays closed during baking.
  7. Position & Egg Wash: Place the rolled sausage ‘sausages’ on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, with the join side down. Brush the tops generously with the remaining beaten egg for a glossy finish.
  8. Cut Into Portions: Cut each long roll into 8 equal pieces by halving, then halving again twice, for uniform sausage rolls.
  9. Optional Decoration: Prick the tops with a knife to create a pattern or allow steam to escape during baking, if desired.
  10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the sausage rolls are puffed up and golden brown.

Notes

  • Sausagemeat can be plain or pre-seasoned; adding dried herbs enhances flavor.
  • Use fresh and good-quality puff pastry for the best flaky texture.
  • The egg wash not only adds color but also helps seal and crisp the pastry.
  • Serve warm or cold; they are excellent as party snacks or quick bites.
