Sausage rolls have always been a favorite in our home—there’s just something about that buttery, flaky pastry wrapped around a flavorful pork filling that makes them impossible to resist. I first started making these as a quick and easy weekend lunch, but they quickly became a go-to for any occasion. Whether it’s a family gathering, a picnic, or a platter of finger food for entertaining, these sausage rolls are always the first to disappear!

Over time, I’ve refined the recipe to get the perfect balance of seasoning and texture, and now they’ve become a tradition in our house. There’s nothing better than the smell of freshly baked sausage rolls filling the kitchen, knowing they’ll be enjoyed just as much as the last time—and probably gone just as fast!

What Makes This Recipe Special?

• A Flavorful Filling: The combination of pork mince, streaky bacon, and aromatics like garlic, onion, and celery creates a savory depth of flavor. Adding panko breadcrumbs ensures a light, juicy texture rather than a dense filling.

• Hidden Veggies: The grated carrot adds a touch of natural sweetness and sneaks in extra nutrition, making it great for kids (or picky eaters!).

• Golden, Flaky Pastry: Puff pastry gives these sausage rolls a crispy, buttery shell that contrasts perfectly with the tender filling.

• Versatility: These sausage rolls can be made ahead of time, refrigerated before baking for better structure, or even frozen for a quick snack option.

Tips for the Best Sausage Rolls:

• If time allows, chilling the assembled rolls for an hour before baking helps them hold their shape and makes them easier to cut cleanly.

• Brushing with egg wash before baking gives them a beautifully golden and glossy finish.

• Sprinkling sesame seeds on top adds a little crunch and extra flavor.

• If you prefer a different protein, you can swap the pork mince for beef or even a mix of meats.
