Homemade Aussie Sausage Rolls

Sausage rolls have always been a part of my fondest childhood memories. They were my go-to bakery treat every single time. Now I make them at home and it’s become a family tradition.

My Homemade Aussie sausage rolls are a true Aussie classic: golden, flaky pastry wrapped around a juicy, flavour-packed filling. Made with simple ingredients and a few hidden veggies, they’re always the first to disappear at parties, footy games or after-school snacks.

Whether for lunchboxes, parties, or a weekend treat, these rolls are simple, wholesome and guaranteed to please everyone. And here’s a little secret, the kids won’t even know there are veggies hidden inside!

If you love fuss-free party food, my pizza scrolls are another family favourite. Quick, tasty and perfect for busy home cooks.

With just a few clever additions, these homemade Aussie sausage rolls are even tastier than the shop-bought version. What’s not to love?

Ingredients

• 4 sheets ready-rolled puff pastry, thawed
• 2 slices bread, crusts removed, cubed
• 2-3 tbsp milk
• 1 small brown onion, roughly chopped
• 1 medium zucchini, chopped
• 1 medium carrot, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1.5 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
• 1 tbsp mixed herbs
• 1 tsp Vegemite
• 1 egg
• 500g beef mince
• 1.5 tbsp tomato sauce
• 1.5 tbsp BBQ sauce
• 1.5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 egg (extra, for egg wash)
• Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C fan-forced. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
2. Place bread in a bowl, pour over milk and soak. Set aside.
3. Add onion, zucchini, carrot, garlic and parsley to a food processor. Blitz until roughly chopped.
4. Add soaked bread and blitz again.
5. Add beef mince, tomato sauce, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Vegemite, egg, salt and pepper. Blitz until well combined.
6. Lay pastry sheets flat and cut each in half horizontally.
7. Spoon mixture along one long edge, shaping into a log.
8. Brush the opposite edge with egg wash and roll to enclose.
9. Cut each roll into 4 pieces and place seam-side down on trays.
10. Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
11. Bake for 20 minutes. Rotate trays and bake for another 5-10 minutes until golden and crispy.

Notes

Top Tips:

• Use a food processor: Makes prep quicker and hides veggies perfectly for picky eaters.
• Don’t overfill: Too much filling can cause the rolls to split while baking.
• Chill before baking: Pop assembled rolls in the fridge for 30 minutes for cleaner cuts.
• Freeze for later: Freeze unbaked rolls and cook straight from frozen - just add extra time.
• Golden finish: Egg wash is key for that beautiful bakery-style colour.
