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.
Can I freeze these Rolls?
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 them 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.
