Why I Love This Recipe
There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about sausage rolls. They’re simple, satisfying, and loved by both kids and adults.

Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 12 small sausages or mini hot dogs
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Optional: Sesame seeds or poppy seeds for topping
Ingredient Tips & Swaps
- Sausage options: Use breakfast sausage, mini bratwursts, or even plant-based sausages.
- Puff pastry brands: Go for all-butter versions if available for best flavor.
- Make it cheesy: Add a slice of cheddar or gouda under the sausage before rolling.
- Add seasoning: A sprinkle of garlic powder or dried herbs on the egg wash elevates flavor.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Oven:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll Out the Pastry:
On a lightly floured surface, roll out your puff pastry sheet to thin it slightly.
Cut into strips just wide enough to wrap around each sausage.
3. Wrap the Sausages:
Wrap each sausage with a pastry strip, slightly overlapping the edges.
Seal the seam by pressing gently. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
4. Egg Wash:
Brush each roll with the beaten egg for a glossy, golden finish.
Sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds over the tops if desired.
5. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
6. Serve:
Let cool slightly before serving. Offer ketchup, mustard, or spicy mayo for dipping.
Tips for Success
- Keep puff pastry cold until you’re ready to roll—it’s easier to work with and puffs better.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to allow proper browning.
- Want mini bites? Cut sausages and pastry into smaller pieces for party-style poppers.
- These can be made ahead and baked fresh just before serving.
Serving Suggestions & Pairings
Perfect for any occasion, sausage rolls shine with:
- Dips like this beer cheese dip
- Served beside totchos for a party platter
- A tray of sheet pan quesadillas for savory variety
- Washed down with a cold soda, beer, or mocktail
- A fun dessert contrast like Jolly Rancher edible shot glasses for themed events
Storage & Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes to re-crisp the pastry.
You can also freeze unbaked rolls and bake from frozen—just add 5–7 minutes to the cook time.
