Freezing raw sausage rolls

Asked on 23 Oct 2017 by kah22

I note Delia freezes her sausage rolls after cooking. Have you or she anything to say on freezing before cooking and just popping them into the oven when needed. I use puff pastry rather than flakey pastry

Hi Kevin,

Yes you can do that. Indeed that’s exactly what Delia used to do when she first published her recipe, but when everything else is so busy over the festive season it’s one job less to do if you have them baked.

If your going to freeze them raw you will need to use fresh pastry and sausagemeat. They can be open frozen, then packed into a ridged freezer box with parchment between the layers.

You can take them out of the freezer, glaze and bake, when you need them. They’ll just need an extra 5 – 10 minutes in the oven.

Kind regards

Lindsey
