Sausage Rolls

Sausage Rolls

Sausage rolls are a classic British bakery snack — flaky puff pastry wrapped around seasoned sausage meat and baked until golden. They’re hugely popular in the UK and commonly found in bakeries like Greggs.

  2. In a bowl, mix sausage meat with onion, herbs, and pepper.
  3. Unroll the pastry and cut lengthwise into two long strips.
