Sausage bread rolls – These are light and soft bread stuffed with sausage meat. These sausage bread rolls put an elegant spin on my bread roll recipe. They are light, soft and most of all kid-friendly. They are real crowd pleasers.
The first time I came across sausage Bread rolls was at the Nigerian airport in Lagos during my last visit to Naija, and I was wowed. When I returned back to the states, I did not hesitate to recreate it, and I was really pleased with the outcome.
These bread rolls are an excellent addition to the family menu especially if you like the art of bread making – as I do.
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
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 a 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

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.

Hi chef Lola. May I know how long the sausage bread rolls can last and what is the mode of storage?
Thanks as I expect your response.
Hi Lola, i tried this recipe yesterday and it came out perfect! I cut the recipe in half because i didn’t need much. It was a little consuming because of the time allowed to let the dough rise otherwise, it was very easy. Thank you very much. I will definitely be trying your other recipes. I subscribed too 🙂
Thank you for the great feedback Amina and thanks for subscribing. You are right, the recipe is so easy…The wait time?…you can easily get to do some chores around the house. 🙂 You can also try my no-knead bread here
Hi Lola! Ive just watched your video and This looks wonderful! Ive been looking for this recipe as my husband loves it. Just a few questions.
Have you tried using plain flour and would it still be soft?
With your tablespoon size, is it a 15 ml or 20ml tablespoon?
If the weather is quite cold, would it be better to leave the dough to rise in a warmer place (Ive heard some people put it in the oven)
Thanks!
Can’t wait to try it
Yes, plain flour will work as well and it will still be soft. If the weather is cold then try to put the dough in a very warm place or simply preheat your oven to 180°F for 5 minutes, turn it off and place the dough inside the warm oven to rise… 1 tbsp is 15 ml. I hope that helps? I will be happy to know the outcome.
Hi Lola,
Thanks for your reply. I did end up using bread flour and the bread was soft. But when it was cool, it wasn’t soft anymore. Do you think I need to knead more? Thanks!
Hi Alia, if you are kneading with your hands (without the machine) then you might knead a little longer in order for the gluten structure to be well developed. Again you can try to use the metric measurement for this recipe to help you achieve a more accurate measurement. You can click on that in the recipe box. I wish you more success in your next attempt.
Hi Lola! Thanks for your reply! I tried making it again (2nd attempt) and I used my mixer to knead it for me this time and it came out well, nice and soft! Thank you! However, I tried it again (3rd attempt) after that using the mixer and when I let it rest for the second time (after twirling the dough around the sausage), the dough rose and ripped apart, I’m not really sure how to describe it but the dough rose and ‘tore apart’ a bit like The Hulk when the muscles are getting big and the clothes start… Read more »
I think i figured it out. I over kneaded the dough. I thought the more the better. Guess i was wrong
Oh I forgot to mention, I had to add more flour when kneading cause the dough was very sticky. Could this be because I used XL size egg?
Hi Lola, greetings from UAE. I tried this recipe and it’s a super hit in the family. Keep posting some more bread recipes with stuffings if possible. Thank you so much.
Great! Thanks for the amazing feedback, I’m glad your family enjoyed it. I will try and post more recipes like this as you requested. Have you seen my chicken bread loaf? You might like it.

Can this dough be refrigerated over night? I was wondering if it is ok to refrigerate over night, thaw and let it rise the next morning, if it would turn out the same? Thank you! It’s a great recipe!
Thanks, Keetah, Yes you can refrigerate the dough right after kneading before it rises, oil the dough lightly, cover with plastic wrap or use a ziplock, and place in the refrigerator. Happy baking!

Am a big fan love watching your videos on youtube. I have always wanted to make this sausage hot dog though several attempts didn’t come out nice, I was so happy when I saw this, I will definitely try it n get back with a picture of it. Tnx
Sure, Eunice, this is an easy recipe. You should get it right this time. Happy baking!
One cup is how many grams where you live because here in Canada, 1 cup is approx 140 grams. So 500 grams as you mentioned, here will be approx 4 cups. That quantity with just 1/2 of water , something not seem to be right cause the dough is quite hard. My dough is not easy to work with as seen on your video. My standing mixer is working very hard amd hot when mixing the dough. Thanks a lot
Hi Kelsey, I apologize this is coming quite late. Sorry for the stress you had to go through. That’s quite a lot of work for the mixer…I use the standard American measuring cup for all my measurements and 1 Cup of flour here is 125g … The recipe calls for 2 cups (250g), not 4 cups (500g) except you are trying to double the recipe and in that case, the liquid quantity will have to be doubled as well as the other ingredients too.
That was “wao” , very nice
Thanks Kelsey.
I love this,I will certainly try it out.
Thanks, Jennifer. I will be happy to know the outcome.
I always make it as snacks for get together meeting. Very lovely. Thank you
