Sausage bread rolls (pigs in a blanket) – These are light and soft bread stuffed with sausage meat. These sausage bread rolls put an elegant spin on my bread rolls recipe. They are light, soft and most of all kid-friendly. They are real crowd pleasers.
Sausage Bread Rolls
The first time I came across sausage Bread rolls was at the Aiport on my last trip outside the United States, and I was wowed. When I returned, I did not hesitate to recreate it. It is such an easy recipe and the result was outstanding. The texture and flavor of this bread were absolutely delicious. It turned out exactly as I had hoped. Not only do they taste good, but they also look beautiful. I have made this countless times now because my family is hooked!
These bread rolls are an excellent addition to the family menu especially if you like the art of bread making – as I do.
This sausage bread can be made in bulk because it freezes so well. If you choose to freeze them, be sure to let the rolls to come to room temperature. Put them in a Ziploc or tightly sealed plastic bag and store in the freezer. You need to let them thaw before warming them. You can place them in the oven to warm up or microwave for a minute or two.
Notes:
- Try to leave some spaces at both ends of the sausage while wrapping it because the dough will still rise up and cover the left out space a little bit
- I like to steam or grill the sausage links before I wrap them around the dough because I want it to be thoroughly cooked.
- Mixers can also be used for mixing the dough, this saves time and energy
- Be sure to measure accurately. You can see both the standard and the metric measurements below
- Bring all your ingredients to room temperature bere combining them. Except for the milk – that needs to be warm.
- When making bread, always use bowls that are large enough to accommodate the size of the dough when it doubled or tripled in size.
- These bread rolls are perfect for breakfast, dinner or even snack time and it will definitely create a memorable taste for you and your family.
SAUSAGE BREAD ROLLS (pigs in a blanket)
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Bread flour plus about a handful for kneading
- 2 Tablespoons Butter Melted
- 1/2 Tbs Yeast
- 2 Egg use 1 for egg wash
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Cup Milk Warm
- 3 Tbsp Sugar Use 1 Tsp for proofing the Yeast
- 10 Hotdog links
Instructions
- Dissolve the Yeast and Sugar in the warm milk
- In another Bowl, combine the Butter and Eggs and set aside
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and sugar, make a well at the center and add the yeast and the Egg and Butter mixture and mix together until a soft dough is formed.
- Transfer the Dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until it’s smooth and elastic about 10 minutes by hand and about 7 minutes if using a mixer.
- Place the Dough inside a very large oiled Bowl (making sure you smear some oil on the surface of the Dough) and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour or till doubled in size.
- Steam the sausage in boiling water for about 7 minutes. Remove from water and set aside.
- Deflate the dough, and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces, and roll it out into a rope long enough to wrap around the sausage about 3 times.
- Wrap the rolled dough around the sausage and place them on lightly greased and floured baking sheets at least 2 inches apart. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
- Whisk up 1 Egg and together with a Tbsp of Water and brush the surface of the Bread rolls then place in a 350 degrees Fahrenheit preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or till golden brown. Enjoy

Thank you for this wonderful recipe! Instead of hand kneading I made this in my bread machine. They came out perfect. I’m now making my third batch! I freeze them so my sons can grab and go! Thank you again!
Yes, a great idea to cut time and save energy!! I’m so happy you love it!
Thank you Chef Lola. I did it! The sausage bread rolls came out perfect. My family loved them. Cheers, Elly
(P/s: please advise how I can share the photo. Thanks)
Thank you for the feedback, Elly. I’m glad your family loved them. You can send me the pictures on Facebook or Instagram @ cheflolaskitchen I will be happy to see the pictures. 🙂
This is the second time that I made these, the first time they turned out perfect but this time my dough is stiffer. I kneaded it for 10 minutes and kept checking for elasticity but its not like the first batch I made. After it has risen for an hour can I knead it again and try to get it where it needs to be and let it rise again or should I start over. I don’t want them to taste like regular bread.
From what you explained, my best guess is that there was too much flour during the mixing/kneading process or the bread rose at a cool temperature. I don’t think kneading it a second time will help.
Hi Lola,
I tried the recipe but i cant kneed the dough till smooth and elastic.
Not sure whats went wrong. I kneed so long still not smooth with mixer.
Any clue or idea whats went wrong?
My measurement as below:
250g Bread flour
30ml Butter Melted
7.5g Yeast
2 Egg use 1 for egg wash
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
63ml Milk Warm
When mix with dry ingredients with the wet ingredients it seems dry, so i put little bit of water till can form dough.
In video looks so wet.
Does it means my wets ingredients too little?
You should be using about 122g, or 118ml, of milk. I hope that helps.

Make sure you use 2 eggs in the bread. Get another egg for the egg wash. So total, you use 3 eggs.
I already tried your Sausage Bread Roll and it was so delicious. Thank you for sharing your recipe 😊
I just tried them out and THEY ARE AMAZING
The rolls came out soft and fluffy! And they were even tasty on its own!
This recipe is a keeper thank you so much!
It was an amazing recipe even for a beginner like me
Great and I’m waiting for the proofing now🥰🥰hope my kids will love it when they woke up and see few trays of freshly bake sausage bun rolls
Dearest Lola,
Giving credit where credit is due; “Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all”. I have made this twice and both times it was a great success, you make me bake like a pro. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your recipes with us. I am baking your sweet milk bread recipe, I am looking forward to eating it. In as much as my husband does not want us going out, na lie, something must give as I must make either the goat pepper soup or the ata dindin. Thank you so much, may God continue to bless you, your home, your family and the works of your hand, amen.

I just made mine now, it is so so delicious, mouth watering. I have to prepare another batch cos my hubby and his children finished the 20 8 made at once.
Thanks greatly for this ma. I always look forward for your post all the time and my family has been enjoying themselves a lot.
They taste great. My son loves them.
Hello.
Thanks for this
Pls if I want to add a sauce inside it, what would you recommend?
A Sauce to coat the sausage
Amazing recipe! 1st time trying & got it right. The measurement given is definitely accurate. The buns were fluffy & yummy!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipe.
Hello Lola. Thank you for all your amazing recipes. I will like to know if I can do all the kneading and mixing in a stand mixer? Also will a self-rising flour work for this recipe? Is it also possible to skip the butter and flour in a pan and use parchment paper instead? Thank you
I tried this awesome recipe and I didn’t even take a single picture because they were too yummy to resist. I dare you to take a picture when they’re done 😭
I prefer your recipe and your detailed directions compared to the sausage rolls published by rasa malaysia. Thank you

Thank you so much for a delicious recipe. The whole family ate these so fast that I am planning on making a triple batch today.
Thanks again from Sydney, Australia
Hi Lola, this recipe is awesome. I’ve tried a few and this is indeed the best! The bread is soft and airy, and the sweetness is just right. Everyone just can’t stop at one 😊 thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
Can I make this ahead and store in the freezer up until I am ready to bake them?
Hi Chef Lola
Can I let the dough rest overnight. Next morning only shape it and bake it.
No matter whether is No knead bread or the
hot dog rolls.
Please advise.
Thanks.
Christine
I tried out this recipe today and my rolls were just perfect. Your recipe was simple and very easy to follow and the end result was beautiful and delicious rolls.
All the 10 rolls were finished within minutes.
Thank you Lola.
I just tried this receipe today. I must say it was perfect. Don’t worry if your dough gets little sticky coz mine was and i kept kneading using the flour and it came out perfect and bun was so soft and so good. Highly recommend this recipe to anyone
Good evening my name is comfort , pls can u give me recipes for 1lkilo mixture. Thank u ma
Just did this recipe and it was great!
Thank you, Lola!! 🙂
Hello Chef Lola,
Thank you so much for the savoury pastries and dishes you post. They are so enticing and inviting.
I really want to try this bread rolls but I am worried about the measurements. My 1cup says 235ml so 2 for this bread rolls should be 470ml. My 1 teaspoon says 5ml and 1 tablespoon says 20ml. I just want to confirm if they are same as yours.
Also, if I’m measuring 1cup, should it be a levelled 1cup?
Would you be kind enough to post a picture of the 1cup of flour you mean.
Expecting a response at your convenience.
Many thanks
Hi Chef Lola I tried this roll today and honestly I was impressed by the outcome my kids loved it the only thing was the bottom was Bit burnt I did the butter and the flour coating so am not sure why that happened.Thank you for being so detailed
P.s this is my first time baking anything
Hi Chef Lola. This recipe is amazing. I’ve made it twice for my family, and they really enjoyed it. I also want to know if this can be done with all purpose flour.
Thank you for this lovely easy recipe 😀
Thanks for the recipes but need to know if tha calories count you put is per one or for the whole recipe??
This is an awesome recipe, I love the part where you boil the sausages in water. I’ll try it soon. Thank you
Hi chef Lola I tried this recipe today and it turned out great the whole family loved it most especially the kids
Hi chef Lola, this is really good. I would like to bake more! Do I just need to double all the ingredients to bake more or that’s not a good idea. I have big family and it wasn’t enough for them. 🙂
Hi Chef Lola
thank you for this wonderful recipe.
As everybody is confined in their home trying to find something to cook, this recipe was a 5 stars for my kids.
Great recipe and great outcome, did this with my kids, tastes delicious and looks just like the picture.bkeep it up
Thank you Helen, So pleased the family enjoyed it! I really appreciate the feedback ❤️
I like ur explanation it was detailed
Thank you Lola for the detailed explanation of your recipes. I also like the fact that you use measurement that doesn’t require conversion, making the whole process a breeze. I am hooked to your channel. Lots of love from Nigeria ❤
Aww.. thank you! Thanks so much, Nneka, I truly enjoy hearing what people think of my recipes. ❤️❤️
Thank you ❤️❤️
Is good
Thank you ❤️
And how big should the cup be
The cup of flour
It should be leveled using the standard American measuring cup.
I’ve been wondering what the name of this pastry is for at least 2 years. Now I finally know. It’s like the less complex little brother to Hotdogs.
Thanks for the recipe, I used exact same measurements but my dough was a bit dryer not as soft as yours in the video, what did I do wrong?
It’s a wow, like my kids loved it. God bless. How do subscribe?
She’s on YouTube (Chef Lola’s kitchen)
[…] On her part, Cheflolaskitchen advises that you can use this bread rolls dough for making sausage bread rolls. […]
hello why is it the area around the sausage a bit wet? howver the bread is soft and chewy!
hi Lola. you are a great teacher, I love your teaching so well. please I would like to know what a warm milk is and how to get it. is it the same with the normal daily milk we us at home?
Warm your regular milk for few seconds in the microwave
Hi lola i like your recipes all the time well done ma
Hi from India! I tried your recipe for sausage rolls, and I am mind-blown! These are perfect, soft and such a wonderful texture overall. The taste made me really nostalgic about my childhood, we used to visit a bakery near my school and dad always got me these wonderful warm sausage rolls. I’ve tried several recipes and failed to recreate that taste. Your recipe has given me that exact same taste as those rolls in my childhood memory, thank you so much for this! Keep up the great work! Also, I’ve been trying to leave a five star rating on your recipe but somehow the rating doesn’t seem to be working, but I’d give this a 10 star if I could! 🙂
Hi chef lola i was amazed .it turns out yummy fluffy my children love it can i request a measurement for more batches i was alittle bit worried that the amount will not turns out the same.thank you for sharing.
These are wonderfully moreish!! After they’re baked and cooled, can the twirly hot dogs be frozen and reheated? If yes, how are they reheated? It would be one less thing to do in preparation for ‘Thanksgiving’ if they can be baked in adavance. Thank you in anticipation of your timely advice. Donna
Soo awesome, will love to try doing them that home
