how to serve Sausage Rolls
Serve warm or at room temperature. They go well with mustard, ketchup, or a simple dipping sauce. For a party, place on a tray with toothpicks for easy grabbing.
how to store Sausage Rolls
Cool completely before storing. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes to keep the pastry crisp. For longer storage, freeze baked rolls for up to 1 month and reheat from frozen at 350°F for 15–20 minutes.
tips to make Sausage Rolls
- Keep puff pastry cold until you roll it to keep it flaky.
- Do not overfill the pastry or it may burst.
- Seal edges well by pinching and pressing with a fork if needed.
- Brush with egg wash for a shiny, golden top.
- Make even portions so they bake at the same time.
variation (if any)
- Add grated cheese to the sausage mix for a cheesy roll.
- Use different herbs like rosemary or sage for another flavor.
- Swap pork for beef or chicken sausage if you prefer.
FAQs
Q: Can I use fresh breadcrumbs?
A: Yes. Fresh or store-bought breadcrumbs both work fine.
Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
A: Yes. Assemble and keep in the fridge for a few hours, or freeze before baking and bake from frozen with a few extra minutes.
Q: Can I bake at a lower temperature?
A: You can, but baking at 425°F gives the best puff and color. Lower heat may make the pastry less flaky.
Q: Do I have to use eggs?
A: You need one egg in the filling for texture and one for the egg wash. You can skip the wash but the top will not be as shiny.
Q: How do I know they are done?
A: The pastry should be golden and puffed. The sausage inside should be fully cooked and reach safe temperature.
