Every family has dishes that were made in their home so often that when you make and eat them later in life they feel and taste like home. Sausage Rolls is one of these dishes for me. My mom would make sausage rolls for a weekend breakfast with a delicious gravy or to enjoy on the go to grab on our way out to school. My favorite is when she would make Sausage Rolls right before a road trip. We would have something nice and hot to eat on the road and leftovers were easily reheated or enjoyed cold.
These are actually quite a simple dish. It was something my mom could easily make for our family of 8 that we all enjoyed. Now that I make them for my family I occasionally add extra ingredients like onions or mushrooms but the simple sausage recipe is what reminds me of home, so that is what I will be sharing today.
Sausage Rolls Recipe
Ingredients needed:
- 1 pound ground sausage (I use Jimmy Deam regular or country style) – brought to room temperature
- Bread Dough
You will need your favorite bread dough. Often my mom would even make these with some Bisquick dough or some other dough mix. I use a bread machine recipe. I can have my bread machine do all of the mixing work and then I can easily make these once the dough is ready. Here is the bread machine dough recipe I use:
- 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. of Warm Milk
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. Sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 2 Tbsp Butter, softened
- 3 cups Flour
- 2 tsp.Yeast
I put the ingredients in my bread maker in the order listed and then set my bread machine to just mix/raise the dough and take the dough out before it bakes the bread.
Place the dough on a floured surface.
Roll out your dough. Honestly I don’t know how thick it is that I roll it out – about the same as what I would do for cinnamon rolls.
When I start making the dough I also pull the sausage out of the fridge. It is easier to spread the sausage on the dough if it is at room temperature. Spread the entire pound of sausage onto the dough.
Gently roll up the dough.
Then like you would with cinnamon rolls cut the roll into slices. Place each slice into a greased dish.
Let rise for about 30 minutes and then place in a 400 degree oven for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Serve hot out of the oven. These can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the microwave (I even like them cold from the fridge). These can also be made to go with your favorite gravy for a delicous take on biscuits and gravy!

Doesn’t the sausage have to cooked first?
Summer Scraps says
Betty,
The sausage cooks at the same time as the rolls. The sausage is spread thin so it doesn’t take long to cook.
Betty says
Thanks for the info, I’m going to try it very soon.
Amy says
Have you ever tried using the frozen bread dough loaves? I am wondering if that would work.
Summer Scraps says
Amy I have never trid using the frozen bread dough loaves. If you try it and it works please let me know!
Amy says
I did use the frozen bread dough and it worked fine. I thawed the dough overnight in the fridge (per pkg instructions) and didn’t let it rise when removing it to assemble the recipe. In retrospect, I wish I would’ve let it come to room temperature before rolling it out. However, it was very convenient and I was able to make it the day before and refrigerate it overnight. The next morning I took it out of the fridge about an hour before I baked it.
I modified the recipe slightly by cooking and draining the sausage before assembling and also added 2 cups of cheddar cheese. Next time I make it, I will use a homemade bread dough and follow your recipe exactly!
It was fabulous! I took it to church for our class breakfast. I can’t wait to make it for the next family gathering.
Summer Scraps says
That is great Amy, thanks for letting me know. I bet the cheese was really good. Sometimes I will saute mushrooms and onions together, drain out any excess liquid and add that to the sausage. It is very savory and delicious especially if you like mushrooms. I will for sure try cheese next time I make this.

OMG I am so excited to make this recipe. When I was in the 6th grade, in like 1975, Portland, Oregon Public Schools sent all 6th grade classes to a week long Outdoor School. It was such fun. Anyway, on the last day at breakfast we were served something very close to this Sausage Roll Recipe with a yummy Country Gravy. We were told that the lumberjacks needed hearty breakfasts and that this had been a favorite in the Pacific Northwest logging camps. I never had the gumption to create my own recipe as yeast and I most of the time don’t get along. However when I read that you used your bread machine to make your dough I had one of those “slap my forehead, why didn’t I think of that” moments! Thank you so much for helping me to make a great memory come back to life.

Thanks so much for your comment! I hope you enjoy this recipe and I love the memories it was able to remind you of. So awesome!
