What You Will ❤️ About Sausage Rolls
- 3 Ingredient Dinner! I made up a dipping sauce but these simple sausage rolls have just three ingredients!
- UK Specialty – this is something that is more popular in the UK – but we’re missing out here in the US – these are delicious!
- Cheese Please? Ok – traditional sausage rolls have no cheese – but why not add some?
This recipe was made using the Paula Deen Air Fryer.
Sausage Roll Recipe Ingredients
This delicious recipe only has 3 ingredients – but feel free to add more if you like. I’m sticking to a fairly traditional version.
- Puff Pastry Sheets– any Puff Pastry will do – you could also use crescent roll dough
- Sausage – I used Italian sausage but plain pork sausage meat works as well
- Egg – you can also use milk or butter
- OPTIONAL: Cheese! Traditional sausage rolls do not use cheese but I couldn’t resist and added some Colby Jack to half the rolls
Garlic Mustard Dipping Sauce Ingredients
These sausage rolls are good on their own but I love a dipping sauce! Here’s one I made up for this recipe:
- Mayonnaise
- Classic Yellow Mustard
- Lime juice
- Garlic
- Honey
- Freshly ground black pepper
You also have other serving options! Make these into appetizers by doing mini sausage rolls! Cut them into 2″ pieces and air fry for 6-8 minutes. Lots of folks also top these with sesame seeds before baking.

How to make Homemade Sausage Rolls in the Air Fryer
Sausage rolls are easy to make and the air fryer speeds up the process over traditional baking and makes them super crispy! Here’s how to make them:
- Roll out 1 sheet of puff pastry and leave on parchment or place on a lightly floured surface and cut into 6 squares using a pizza cutter or knife
- Remove sausage and form into 6 mini logs
- Place each sausage log into center of Dough square
- OPTIONAL: add cheese to sausage rolls before serving
- Fold pastry dough over sausage and, using a fork, crimp edge of the pastry to seal all the way around
- Using a sharp knife, score the top of the rolls in a diagonal for air to escape
- Place 3 rolls into the air fryer basket so they are not touching. (This will depend on the size of your air fryer – you may need to cook them in batches.)
- Beat egg in a small bowl and, with a pastry brush, top sausage rolls with beaten egg wash.
- Air fry at 360º for 12-15 minutes. Check with instant read thermometer to be sure the internal temperature in the sausage is 160º.
- Feel free to line basket with parchment paper liners – puff pastry is a bit oily and flaky but it won’t stick.
- Remove sausage rolls and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Repeat with remaining 3 rolls.
- Serve with mustard dipping sauce

Tips, Tricks & FAQs
Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass ones) in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the air fryer at 250º for 5-6 minutes.
If you’re cooking sausage rolls from the freezer – follow the oven instructions for the temperature and cook for half the time. You can always add more time but you can’t unburn something. Check the center with an instant read thermometer to be sure it’s 160º.
