How to make the recipe
Here are the step by step instructions to make the recipe.
The method is quick and easy. We start by preparing our sausages.
- Remove casing from the sausages (Photo 1)
- Place on thawed pastry (Photo 2)
- Add egg to a small bowl (Photo 3)
- Pierce with a fork and whisk (Photo 4)
You only need 1 egg for approximately 12 sausage rolls.
If using very small eggs, you may need 2.
- Roll pastry around sausage (Photo 5)
- Brush with egg (Photo 6)
- Roll to close (Photo 7)
- Use a knife to cut the excess pastry of the ends (Photo 8)
You may find you brush the pastry twice as you roll and seal each long sausage.
The sausage roll will likely bit a bit shorter than the length of the pastry, so cut the excess off where the sausage finishes.
- Cut the excess pastry of each end (Photo 9)
- Brush long sausage roll with egg (Photo 10)
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds (Photo 11)
- Cut into small sausage rolls (Photo 12)
You will get 4 sausage rolls out of one standard length sausage.
In the photo above left, you can see what your sausage rolls will look like before you cook them.
In the photo on the right (and below), you will see what your sausage rolls will look like after you cook them.

Expert tips

- Working in batches ensures the sausage rolls have enough room to expand
- You can pull the basket out by the handle to check the sausage rolls to see how they are cooking
- There are so many sizes and types of Air Fryers that some will cook faster or slower depending on the model, the 1st time you make the sausage rolls, check them after 4 mins to see how they are cooking!

These sausage rolls look amazing, I would rather make these then buy the store bought any day. Easy, quick and fresh 🙂

I don’t really love sausages but honestly these look incredible with the sesame seeds. Although it probably won’t be as good as yours, I want to try it with hotdogs!
Adrianne says
Thanks Lauren! I enjoyed reading your feedback, yes, what a great idea!

Is there a particular reason through the recipe and it’s steps you don’t clearly mention the temperature to set the air fryer at for the 4 minutes?
Adrianne says
Hello! The temperature is listed in the 1st step. Ie Turn the air fryer on to 180°C/350 F for 15 mins. This allows for preheating and cooking of the sausage rolls. Best wishes.
