Questions about Sausage roll
How do you stop a sausage roll going soggy when you reheat it?
Reheat it on a baking tray in an oven at 180°C for about 10–15 minutes, rather than in the microwave. Let it cool slightly on a rack so steam can escape from the pastry.
Can you freeze sausage rolls?
Yes. Freeze baked sausage rolls once cool, wrapped well; reheat from frozen at 180°C until piping hot throughout. You can also freeze them unbaked, then bake from frozen, allowing extra cooking time and checking the sausage meat is fully cooked.
How long does a sausage roll keep in the fridge?
Cool it promptly, cover it and refrigerate; eat within two days. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, until piping hot throughout.
How do you know when a homemade sausage roll is cooked?
The pastry should be puffed and deeply golden, and the sausage meat should be steaming hot with no pink centre. If you use a food thermometer, the centre should reach 75°C.
What goes well with a sausage roll?
Serve it warm with English mustard or chutney, plus a crisp green salad or coleslaw. Mini sausage rolls are also a familiar party snack alongside pickles.
Can you make sausage rolls without puff pastry?
Yes: use shortcrust pastry for a firmer, less flaky casing, or wrap the sausage meat in bread dough for a softer, bread-like result. Seal the seam firmly so the filling stays inside as it bakes.
What is the difference between a sausage roll and a pig in a blanket?
A sausage roll encloses sausage meat in a larger pastry casing, commonly puff pastry. A pig in a blanket is usually a small sausage wrapped in bacon, or in pastry in some versions.
