    Puff Dough Tip: Your dough will be more manageable and smooth if you add all of the liquid ingredients in at the same time (before mixing). This prevents extra gluten development so your flakey layers are extra crisp and delicate. Fantastic results for your first try! I've been a professional baker for 6 years-- I know how tricky puff dough can be! (and YES, there's THAT much butter in the dough!) If you ever have any cooking questions please don't hesitate to reach out-- I love teaching people to bake new things! :)

    Not surprised you had to read & re-read those instructions so often, I’ve never seen such a complicated recipe for a simple sausage roll!!! Like lots of people in the UK I make them regularly, especially at Christmas. I make a simple rough puff pastry (half the amount of frozen fat - usually a mixture of butter and lard - grated into the amount of flour, then mixed with iced water to form the dough) - no faffing about with laminating, the dough itself is lovely and flaky as it is, and perfect for sausage rolls. Filling is good quality sausages taken out of the skins and mixed with raw chopped onion and chopped sage - no egg, no breadcrumbs - and they are just delicious and a real Christmas / special occasion tradition. But I really admire your tenacity with your recipe!

    As a Scottish baker from the Highlands of Scotland, generally speaking when it comes to sausage rolls the more the butter the more lamination to the pastry, keep it cold as possible even if u need to pop them back in the fridge if u find Ur hands are too warm to work with the dough might be worth chilling Ur hands before handling just hold a bag of something frozen before handling, good luck xx

    quick tip I've used when making cinnamon rolls before: I typically mix the softened butter with the sugar and cinnamon in advance so that it forms a paste and then when I spread it, it's an even layer of everything and then every bite of the cinnamon roll has that perfect balance of cinnamon and sugar *for sure stealing that dough recipe tho, it looked fantastic*

    Hi Becky, love your videos. I’m a chemist and here is a potential answer for the butter dilemma. For the measurements there are two types of ounces. There is volume ounce and mass ounce. Water is used as the standard where 1 ounce of water in volume is the same as the 1 ounce in mass. This ratio is different for everything. With the two butters they may have different densities (mass to volume ratio) which affects how much volume or space the take up. A cup is a volume measurement. For the recipe though you way need to experiment on wither the volume or mass measurement works best.

    Hi Becky, you did a good job with the sausage rolls. Here in South Africa it is sold in all supermarkets, cafes and anywhere that has a pie warmer. It is a favorite quick meal for many South Africans, along with a wide variety of savory meat pasties (we call them pies). Next time you make the sausage rolls, just before you do the final egg wash on top, you can prick along the top of the pastry with a fork, it allows the sausage meat to release some steam and adds some detail to the finished product. We also have the sausage rolls made with chicken instead of pork. I really enjoy your videos, everything you make looks so yummy!!

When I have bought them many times in England they come in puff pastry they come in shortcrust pastry. people love them they sell them at the bakery shop, and Cornish pasties and all kinds of pies like cheese and onion pies, steak and kidney, chicken and mushroom! oh there's many of us British people, we should get together or should I say we should send you some British recipes of traditional foods. Maybe if there's people here from other countries also they could send some of their traditional meals or foods. It's hard for me living in America and not being able to get my hands on the foods I love so much on a whim if I feel like it.
      Thank you for doing this I hope you love them. And maybe try more traditional ones they don't normally come with sprinkles on the top or onions. But as we know there's so many different varieties of foods and people put their play on it which makes the world a better place. Becky thank you very much you are such a talented woman I think you should have a cooking show or maybe a show that shows you how to preserve and store, cook, hydrate and all these things that you've been showing us.

      Usually you need to adjust the temperature when baking in a glass dish as well (I think that’s also 25 degrees lower). Most baking recipes are written for metal pans which heat up quicker, cook more evenly, and cool down quicker.

    The easiest way I've found to do the meat part of the sausage rolls in to put the mixture into a plastic piping bag & pipe it out onto the pastry; it stays nice & even & is much easier to control.

    Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 can’t believe how nervous and excited I was that you made sausage rolls. They are the best. We eat them with tomato sauce you call it tomato ketchup. Mostly we eat them at parties family gatherings etc. I do make double batches and freeze half but you are right don’t egg wash the ones that you are going to freeze. My husband is English and he likes them with HP sauce. In my family we mix HP and ketchup 50/50 cause that’s how we like it. Enjoy ☺️

    It was so sweet watching you eat a sausage roll for the first time!! They're the kind of thing we grew up eating in the UK , all bakeries and supermarkets sell them, we eat them as a snack or for lunch but I don't see why you couldn't for breakfast. I've never made them with homemade puff pastry though, wow that looked like a lot of work. I bet it tasted amazing though! You did a great job :)
    P.s Pasties are another food we eat a lot of over here, they're even better than sausage rolls and you can fill them with anything - 'traditional Cornish',' minced beef and onion' and' cheese with mashed potato and onion' are all great!

    Becky, there was a period in the 60's/70's when "they" changed the standard for published recipes and did not include water in the initial list of ingredients for a recipe. They only included it in the instructions. I checked it out in my earlier and later editions of the red-checked classic "Better Home and Gardens Cookbook", which every bride of my generation received at her shower, and sure enough the recipes were different. I don't know why they changed the standard or whey they changed it back. But some recipes have kept the altered standard. like your rough-puff recipe. I just found your site and am enjoying it very much (that's why my comment is so late.) Keep up the good work. And blessings on your growing family.

    Sausage rolls are really popular in the UK and made a lot at Christmas and all year round.
    My Gran will do half butter with half lard/ animal fat if you have any from your hog be good to use. Does make the pastry nice.
    We also sometimes add stuffing mix from the supermarket in with the sausage meat before putting them into pastry or add cranberry sauce inside the sausage roll before baking. Another idea maybe carmalised onions or onion chutney to add 😊
    Can be eaten anytime now day or night, really popular to have mini ones at a party then make bigger ones for at home, alternative you could look into is Cheese and onion rolls common veggie option in uk

      That would be correct for a standard puff pastry, this is a rough puff pastry so the butter does need to be broken down.

    Laminating tip: instead of grating your laminating butter, make it into flat rectangular 'plates' by batting and rolling the cold butter in a wrap - kind of like you did with the dough in the beginning.
    Keep them a bot smaller than your innitial dough sheet, then you can neatly stack them and laminate-roll. No spillage, no waste. I'm sure you can find a video showing croissant lamination to get the idea.
    Also i NEVER trust recipes that give out butter in cups or spoons. I always translate them to ounces/grams and pre measure rather than the confusing measurement on the paper.
