Here’s a simple, detailed 3-Ingredient Sausage Rolls recipe using classic basics.
Sausage Rolls are flaky, savory pastries made with seasoned sausage wrapped in buttery pastry and baked until golden.
🧾 Ingredients (Only 3)
- 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought, thawed)
- 300–400 g sausage meat (or sausages with casing removed)
- 1 egg (for egg wash + sealing)
🔥 Optional seasoning (not counted in 3 ingredients)
- Salt & black pepper
- Chili flakes or paprika
- Onion powder or garlic powder

👨🍳 Step-by-Step Method
1. Prepare the oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F)
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Prepare sausage filling
If using sausages:
- Slice open the casing and remove meat
- Place in a bowl and lightly mash with a fork
(Optional: add spices for extra flavor)
3. Roll out pastry
- Lay puff pastry flat on a clean surface
- If needed, lightly roll it to even thickness
4. Shape the sausage log
- Take sausage meat and form a long log down the center of the pastry
- Leave about 2–3 cm space on each side
5. Egg wash & seal
- Beat the egg in a small bowl
- Brush edges of pastry with egg
- Fold pastry over sausage filling
- Press firmly to seal (use a fork for crimping)
6. Cut into pieces
- Turn seam-side down
- Slice into small or medium rolls (5–7 cm each)
7. Final egg wash
- Brush the tops with egg wash for golden color
- Optional: sprinkle sesame seeds or black pepper
8. Bake
- Bake for 20–25 minutes

💡 Tips for Best Results
