Ingredients

You’ll need the following for about 16 sausage rolls:

1 lb ground sausage (pork, chicken, or turkey sausage — your choice)
2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp dried thyme or mixed herbs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Optional: Dijon mustard or cheese for extra flavor inside

‍ Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Sausage Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage, onion, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Mix well until fully combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Sausage Rolls

Roll out each puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut in half horizontally to make 4 long strips total.
Spoon the sausage mixture down the center of each strip, forming a log shape.
Optional: Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard or sprinkle some cheese before rolling.
Fold the pastry over the sausage and seal the edge by pressing with a fork or your fingers.
Slice each long roll into 4 equal pieces (or desired size).
Place the sausage rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Brush tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is crispy and golden brown and the sausage is fully cooked.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Storage & Reheating

Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Freeze unbaked or baked sausage rolls for up to 2 months.
Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep the pastry crisp.

Tips for Perfect Sausage Rolls

Use cold puff pastry — it puffs better when chilled.
Customize your filling with spices, fresh herbs, or a bit of grated cheese.
For even more flavor, use flavored sausage like Italian or chorizo.
