Sausage Roll Recipe
Description
The sausage rolls blend ground pork sausage meat, finely diced onion, fresh breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper for a balanced filling. The mixture is shaped into logs on strips of puff pastry, which are then sealed and pierced on top for venting. The rolls are cut into pieces roughly 1½ inches long before baking at 375°F (190°C) until the pastry is golden and puffed.
This yields a product with tender, juicy sausage filling surrounded by a flaky, crisp pastry crust. The contrast between the seasoned meat and the buttery pastry enhances the roll’s appeal as a versatile finger food. Producing about 20 sausage rolls, it’s ideal for gatherings or convenient meals.
Using pork sausage meat seasoned with herbs and spices is traditional, but variations can be made if sausage meat is unavailable by combining ground meat with seasonings and fillers. The egg wash applied to pastry edges and surface ensures a shiny, browned finish. Proper sealing helps keep the filling moist during baking.
Ingredients
- 1 pound sausage meat 16 oz/450 g, ground
- 1 large egg
- 1 onion finely diced, small
- ¾ cup (1¼ oz/35 g) breadcrumbs fresh
- ½ teaspoon salt

- 1 recipe puff pastry brand Easy Puff Pastry

Notes
- Use pork sausage meat seasoned with salt, pepper, and herbs, or make your own by seasoning ground meat with preferred spices and fillers like breadcrumbs.
- An egg wash on the pastry edges and surface produces a golden finish and seals the rolls during baking.
- Cut the sausage roll logs into 1½-inch pieces for bite-sized servings, yielding about 20 rolls.
