FAQs

Can I use pre-cooked sausage instead of sausage meat?
No, uncooked sausage meat is needed to form the filling and bake evenly.

Can I make vegetarian sausage rolls with this recipe?
Yes, replace sausage meat with a plant-based alternative and keep the mushrooms.

Why did my pastry split open?
Overfilling or not sealing the edge well can cause this. Use egg wash and press edges firmly.

Can I use shortcrust pastry instead?
You can, but puff pastry gives a lighter, flakier result.

How do I know when they’re fully cooked?
The pastry should be golden brown and the internal temperature of the sausage should reach 160°F (71°C).
