What Ingredients You’ll Need

• Pork sausage
• Puff pastry
• Parsley
• Thyme
• Onion powder
• Garlic powder
• Salt
• Pepper
• Eggs
• Water

How to Make Puff Pastry Sausage Rolls

Start by preheating oven to 425 degrees F (220C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat.

For the puff pastry, you’ll need two rolls of pastry. It’s usually sold in one box with two rolls. Defrost the puff pastry, if needed, and fold it out onto a lightly floured surface.

Cut each pastry sheet into three strips on the fold lines.

Whisk an egg in a large bowl. Add the sausage, breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, onion and garlic powders, salt and pepper. Mix together until fully combined.

Divide the sausage mixture into 6 balls. Roll each sausage ball into a long rope and place it down the center of each piece of puff pastry. Roll the dough over the sausage and secure the seam by pressing it together. Make sure not to squish the rolls down. It should still be in a roll shape.

Turn the rolls seam-side down on a cutting board. 

Beat the remaining egg in a bowl with the water. Brush the egg wash onto the rolls with a pastry brush. Cut the rolls into 6 to 8 pieces each. Place the pieces on the baking sheet.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Serve hot.

Can I Freeze Sausage Rolls?

Yes, you can freeze these sausage rolls, either before or after they’ve been baked. For the freshest outcome, I always freeze them before baking, so I can take them out whenever the need arises and bake them up. The results are the same as if you’d cooked them without freezing.

If you’re going to go this route, don’t add the egg wash before freezing. You can add it just before baking instead. Bake them as you would according to the instructions. They’ll need a few more minutes when being baked from frozen.

If you want to freeze left overs, just place the (completely cooled) rolls in a freezer bag or container. If you have a vacuum sealer and can take the air out of the bag before freezing, that’s even better. When you’re ready to reheat them, put them in the oven at 400 degrees F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
