The Best Gluten Free Sausage Rolls Recipe EVER
- Why choose this recipe? If the homemade, flaky, buttery puff pastry doesn’t convince you, just know that every gluten-eater I’ve fed these gluten free sausage rolls to has said they’re the best they’ve had!
- Top Tip: I cannot emphasise how important it is to ALWAYS keep your pastry chilled. I’ve addressed some comments in the FAQs below about this and troubleshooting any problems. But in short, most of these issues usually come down to the pastry not being cold enough. It can be tempramental, so always if in doubt, chill it out!
- Flour of choice: I always use the FREEE Plain Gluten Free Flour for this but any plain gluten free flour blend will work, such as Asda or M&S flour.
- Updated for 2025: I first published this sausage rolls recipe in 2019 and have tweaked it over the years, but I’ve updated it for 2025 with new step-by-step photos, a video tutorial and some extra tips and tricks.

Linda left ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and said: “I made your puff pastry yesterday, kept it in the fridge till today when I made your sausage rolls. So good! The pastry was flaky and tender. It was easy to make, this will be a go to pastry in my home!“
Sarah also left ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and said: “My coeliac husband is so happy I tried this recipe as I made his favourite sausage rolls. The flavour and texture beat the bought puff pastry and I know the ingredients are top quality.”
Ingredients and Substitutions
There’s a printable recipe card below for these gluten free sausage rolls with the full quantities. But here are the main ingredients and ideas for any swaps.
- Gluten Free Puff Pastry: I 1000% recommend using my homemade gluten free puff pastry, it is so much more like ‘real’ puff pastry than the ready roll stuff! That being said, this recipe does work with the ready roll JusRol gluten free puff pastry or you could make them with my gluten free shortcrust pastry, if you prefer.
- Pork Sausages: Always check your sausages are gluten free, though most supermarket brands are nowadays. I love making this with herby Lincolnshire sausages, or even the chorizo-inspired spicy ones. Veggie sausages work well for a vegetarian version of this recipe too. Check out my gluten free sausages guide for help finding brands which are safe.
- Egg: Using eggwash helps stick the sausage rolls together and also gives it a golden glow in the oven. As the pastry is egg-free, you could use milk for an egg-free sausage roll recipe.
You can also add some sesame seeds on top, and some chutney in the filling if you like!
How to Make Gluten Free Sausage Rolls
There’s a printable recipe card below with the method. But here are some step-by-step photos to show you how easy these gluten free sausage rolls are to make.
Storing and Freezing Instructions
TO MAKE AHEAD: You can easily make the puff pastry ahead of time and then chill in the fridge (or freeze) before making. The sausage rolls can also be made 24 hours in advance and chilled before baking fresh, or can be frozen like this too.
TO STORE: Any leftover sausage rolls can be kept in the fridge for 3-5 days and eaten cold or warmed up (I recommend doing this in the oven or air fryer).
TO FREEZE: Cooked sausage rolls can happily be frozen – you can reheat from frozen or defrost them then enjoy hot or cold.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some FAQs about this easy sausage rolls recipe. If you can’t find the answer to your question here or in the post above, please comment and I’ll try answer!
An easy way to do this is make these with the JusRol gluten free pastry, which is also vegan. If making the puff pastry dairy free you’ll need to use a hard vegan butter – it may melt more during baking.
Chilling the sausage rolls thoroughly is SO important. If you let the pastry get too warm when making it, you’ll lose the lumps of butter you’re marbling through the dough and it won’t puff. Always chill between folding the pastry if unsure. Likewise, chill thoroughly before baking – I recommend popping them in the freezer!
It’s likely some grease will leak from the sausage rolls from the pastry and the sausage meat – this is normal. You can remove the sausage rolls from the tray and place on kitchen roll before serving to remove any excess grease from the bottom.
If, however, there is an excessive amount of butter leaking from the pastry and it is not puffing up, it’s likely the pastry was not chilled enough either while making the dough, or before baking the sausage rolls.
I have also found that using a cheaper butter can lead to more fat ‘leaking’ from the pastry, so I recommend picking a good quality one for your pastry.

Gluten Free Sausage Rolls Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 batch gluten free puff pastry, (approx 500g)
- 6 gluten free pork sausages, (or 400g sausage meat)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tsp gluten free chutney, (optional)
- 2 tsp sesame seeds, optional
Instructions
- Make the gluten free puff pastry. Chill well before making them into sausage rolls. If using pre-made, follow the pack instructions for removing from the fridge to room temperature before unrolling.
- Remove the gluten free puff pastry from the fridge and roll out to a rectangle approximately 4mm thick. Trim the edges so you have a large rectangle (reserve these – either stack them to re-roll or they make great cheese straws!).
- Cut the pastry in half so you have two rectangles and place them on a large baking tray.
- Remove the skins from the sausages and place the sausage meat in a large mixing bowl. Combine together with your hands so it forms one big ball.
- Divide the sausage meat into two, and shape each one into a long sausage. Place this sausage meat in the centre of each rectangle of puff pastry. (Note, if you are adding chutney, spread this onto the centre of the puff pastry before adding the sausage meat on top.)
- Brush the beaten egg onto one side of the pastry on each rectangle. Then fold the pastry over the top and seal the sides using a fork.
- Place the two large sausage rolls into the fridge while still on the baking tray and chill for at least one hour. This is very important and helps with the puff of the pastry. To speed things up, you can also place in the freezer until cold through.
- Once chilled, preheat the oven to 220C / Fan 200C / Gas Mark 7. Remove the sausage rolls from the fridge and cut each one into four, even pieces. Brush the rolls with the leftover beaten egg and (if desired) sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place back in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Bake in the centre of the oven for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden. Remove from the oven and either serve hot or leave to cool.

Notes
- Updated Recipe: The original recipe for this used a Jus-Rol ready made gluten free puff pastry. You’re welcome to use this for ease or if you need the recipe to be dairy free. I’ve also recommended adding the additional step of popping the sausage rolls in the freezer for 10 minutes before baking, to help them puff.
- Storing: These sausage rolls will keep in the fridge for 3-5 days and can be reheated. This is best done in the oven or air fryer – if you microwave them, they may go a little soggy.
- Step-by-Step Photos: Check out the blog post above for step-by-step photos to show how this brownie recipe should look at each stage. There’s also a tutorial video in this recipe card.

These turned out so yummy! I did forget the eggwash and the sesame seeds, but didn’t miss them. The pastry was flaky and the finished rolls were devoured quickly. Thank you for the recipe!
I thought I’d try your puff pastry recipe as the frozen gf sausage rolls aren’t great. I was quite happy with my first attempt at sausage rolls but I’ve just done it again and they are absolutely gorgeous. I think I rolled the pastry too thin the first time.
I’ve done sausage rolls and a large sausage and onion one like a plait but without the plait if you know what I mean. I’m so pleased with it so thank you very much for the recipe. I won’t be buying any more. The pastry is time consuming but well worth it.
Brilliant and easy to make sausage rolls. Our 8 year old made them using the ready made pastry so it was really quick and he could do everything.
