How to Assemble Mary Berry Sausage Rolls

Step 1: Make the Filling

Add the sausage meat, chopped onion, garlic, and parsley to the bowl. Mix in the herbs, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard. Combine everything well with your hands.

Step 2: Roll Out the Pastry

Lightly flour your clean work surface before you start. Roll the puff pastry into one long rectangle. Keep it around 3mm thick throughout.

Step 3: Spread on the Filling

Lay the sausage mixture in a long, even strip down the middle. Leave a 2cm border on each side of the pastry. Keep the filling flat and even.

Step 4: Fold and Seal

Fold the pastry over the filling firmly. Press the edge down, then crimp it closed with the fork. Check there are no gaps left open.

Step 5: Cut Into Rolls

Slice the long log into equal individual pieces. Aim for 8 to 10 portions. Place each one on your lined baking tray.

Step 6: Egg Wash and Bake

Brush the beaten egg over each roll using the pastry brush. Score the tops lightly with your knife for steam. Bake at 200°C for 20 to 25 minutes.

Recipe Notes

➜ Always keep the puff pastry cold until you are ready to use it.

➜ Don’t overfill the rolls or they will burst open during baking.

➜ Score the tops so steam can escape and pastry stays crisp.

➜ Chill assembled rolls for 15 minutes before baking for better results.

➜ Line your baking tray well to prevent any sticking underneath.

How To Store Leftover

Let the rolls cool completely before storing them away. Place in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

To reheat, pop them back in the oven at 180°C for about 10 minutes. They crisp right back up.

You can also freeze unbaked rolls and cook straight from frozen. Just add 5 extra minutes to the baking time.

Sides & Pairings Suggestions

A small pot of tomato ketchup is the classic pairing here. Brown sauce works brilliantly too. These rolls go nicely alongside a crisp green salad.

For something heartier, serve with chunky chips or roasted potatoes. They also pair really well with a hot bowl of tomato soup. Honestly, they are great on their own as well.
