The Best sausage roll with puff pastry recipe

I’ve always been a fan of sausage rolls, and this particular recipe with puff pastry is a game-changer. The combination of flaky pastry and savory sausage filling is absolute perfection. It’s a dish that’s easy to make and feeds a crowd, which makes it perfect for family gatherings or parties.

I’ve made this recipe countless times, and every time it’s a hit with my kids and husband alike. My kids love helping me assemble the rolls, and my husband appreciates the ease of making a large batch that can be reheated as needed. The best part about this recipe is that it’s relatively healthy compared to other savory pastries.

The puff pastry is made with butter and water, but you can easily substitute it with a whole-wheat option if you prefer. And let’s be real, who doesn’t love the smell of freshly baked sausage rolls wafting from the oven? It’s a smell that instantly transports me back to my childhood, when my mom would make these exact same rolls for our family gatherings.

I’ve tweaked the recipe over the years to make it my own, but the essence remains the same – flaky pastry, savory sausage, and a pinch of magic that makes everyone ask for seconds. This recipe is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a holiday gathering or just a Tuesday night dinner. And the best part?

It’s incredibly easy to make ahead of time and freeze for later use.

🥘Ingredients

For the Filling

500g sausage meat
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh sage, chopped
1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp olive oil

For the Pastry

500g puff pastry, thawed if frozen

For the Egg Wash

1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp milk

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3In a mixing bowl, combine sausage meat, onion, sage, rosemary, Dijon mustard, and olive oil.
4Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
5The mixture should be sticky and well combined.
6On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
7Spread the sausage mixture evenly along the center of the pastry, leaving a border on all sides.
8Brush the edges of the pastry with a little water to help seal the rolls.
9Fold the pastry over the sausage mixture and press the edges to seal.
10Cut the roll into 8 equal pieces.
11Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
12In a small bowl, mix the egg and milk to make an egg wash.
13Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with the egg wash.
14This will give the rolls a golden brown finish.
15Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
16The sausage filling should be cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
17Remove from the oven and let the sausage rolls cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Sausage Rolls with Puff Pastry

Q: What kind of sausage should I use in this recipe?

The type of sausage you use will greatly affect the flavor of your rolls. I prefer to use sweet Italian sausage for its mild flavor and rich texture. However, you can also use spicy Italian sausage or even Chorizo for a different twist.

Q: Can I make these rolls in advance?

Yes, you can assemble the rolls up to 24 hours in advance and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake them.

Q: Why do I need to thaw the puff pastry before using it?

Thawing the puff pastry allows it to relax and become pliable, making it easier to roll out and work with.

Q: Can I substitute the puff pastry with a different type of pastry?

You can use other types of pastry such as croissant dough or even homemade pie crust if you prefer.

Q: How do I keep the sausage rolls warm during a party?

Keep the rolls warm by placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a low oven (around 200°F). This will keep them warm without drying out.
