    Sausage rolls sailed to Australia with the British, who had enjoyed their own versions for centuries, but in the new country they were quickly claimed and reinvented. By the mid-20th century they had become the default offering in every Aussie bakery, school canteen, and party platter, alongside their cousin the meat pie, and they remain one of the country’s most beloved savoury pastries.

    What makes it great is the same magic as a pie but in a friendlier, finger-food form: buttery puff pastry that shatters, wrapped around a savoury, herby filling that stays juicy through the bake. Straight from the oven, cooled in a lunchbox, or reheated the next day, they are impossible to stop at one — especially with a generous dollop of tomato sauce.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
    2. In a large bowl, combine the mince, grated onion, carrot, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, mustard, herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and mix until well combined.
    3. Cut each pastry sheet in half lengthways and divide the filling into four logs, placing one along the centre of each strip.
    4. Brush the pastry edges with a little beaten egg, fold over to enclose the filling, and seal with a fork; trim the ends and cut each log into 3 or 4 pieces.
    5. Place the rolls seam-side down on the tray, brush the tops with beaten egg, and prick each one with a fork.
    6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until puffed, golden, and cooked through. Cool slightly and serve warm with tomato sauce.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Keep the pastry and filling cold — warm filling makes the pastry tear and go greasy. Grate the onion rather than chopping it: it melts into the filling and keeps the rolls beautifully moist.
