There is something about warm, buttery, flaky puff pastry with a sausage meat filling straight from the oven which can brighten the darkest day!
Even though there are plenty of gluten-free products on the market now, gluten free sausage rolls are still quite hard to come by. Even Greggs (the king of the sausage roll!) doesn’t yet offer a gluten-free version of this British classic or their bacon & cheese turnover, So I made that gluten-free too!
Well fear not! Tuck into these delicious, homemade 4 ingredient gluten-free sausage rolls and I promise you will not be disappointed! They are quick, simple to make and taste so good you won’t even know they are gluten-free!
They are great to serve up as part of a party buffet, with these honey and mustard glazed cocktail sausages, creamy butter bean dip & air fryer crispy chicken wings alongside a big pot of tomato ketchup to dip them into!
You can pack them up and eat them cold as part of a picnic lunch. My kids also love them as an after school snack straight from the fridge.

One day I will perfect my own gluten free pastry recipe, but I find the Jus Rol Gluten Free Puff Pastry Roll so good and so quick and easy to use I keep putting it off!
I always make sure I have a roll in the fridge as you can make a variety of dishes with it. Once you have tried the sausage rolls, why not check out my Dairy & Gluten Free Vegan Pesto Pin Wheels, Gluten Free Sausage Plait, gluten free apple turnovers or Gluten Free Puff Pastry Pizza, which are all made using the Jus Rol ready rolled puff pastry.
🥘 Ingredients You Will Need
Here is a brief overview of the ingredients needed to make these gluten free sausage rolls. To find out how to make them suitable for other food allergies, simply scroll down to the section below this one.
✋ Double check all packaging for allergens ✋
- Just Rol Ready Rolled Gluten Free Puff Pastry Sheet - I love this brand & the results always come out really well. If you are not following a gluten-free diet you can use a regular puff pastry sheet.
- Sausages - For this recipe I have used Heck pork sausages. The full range of Heck sausages are gluten free. You can use any sausage, however do double check the packaging on the sausages you choose to use as a lot of sausages contain gluten, especially the cheaper ones as they use rusk as a filler. Another great brand is the Finest range from Tesco. I have used these to make this sticky sausage tray bake. You can also use pork sausage meat, however again be sure to check the ingredients.
- Chutney - This is optional, but I think this is what elevates the taste of your standard sausage roll. You can use any chutney you wish, but do check the packaging as some chutneys contain barley so will not be gluten free. I like this Cottage Delight Caramelised Onion Chutney, which is gluten free.
- Egg - To give your sausage rolls that dark golden finish I recommend brushing an egg wash over your pastry before baking.

🥜 How Can I Make This Allergy Friendly?
If you follow the recipe as written, it is gluten-free (please double-check all packaging, though). Below you will find easy options to make it suitable for other food allergies too.
- ✔️ Make It Dairy-Free: Make sure the brand of sausages & pastry you use doesn’t contain milk.
- ✔️ Make It Egg-Free: Skip the egg wash and brush the pastry with either cow’s milk or a plant-based milk instead.
- ✔️ Make It Sulphite-Free: Use a sulphite-free chutney like the Waitrose Caramelised red onion chutney. I know I sound like a broken record but please double check the packaging!
✏️ How to Make Gluten Free Sausage Rolls
⬇️ Here you will find an overview of how to make the recipe. For full information on ingredients and quantities please see the recipe card at the bottom of the page ⬇️
Step 1: Remove the pastry from the fridge and unroll it (but leave it on the baking paper that it comes on) and leave it on the kitchen side to bring the pastry to room temperature.
Step 2: Skin the sausages by running a knife down the side of each sausage. Put the sausage meat into a mixing bowl and discard the skin.
Mix until the sausage meat has come together into one big ball. You can do this with a wooden spoon or get stuck in with your hands!
Step 3: Cut the pastry in half lengthways. Split the sausage mixture in half and distribute it down the middle of each horizontal slice of pastry. Next, add the chutney in a thin line below the sausage mixture.
Step 4: Crack the egg and mix with a fork until combined to create an egg wash.
Using a pastry brush, egg (or milk) wash along the long length on the top side of both pastry slices.
Step 5: Roll the pastry lengthways towards the egg wash line, around the sausage meat and tuck under. Cut each roll in half and then cut each half into four pieces.
Step 6: Place the sausage rolls on a baking tray fold side down. You can use the baking paper that comes with the pastry to line the tray.
Step 7: Brush the top of each sausage roll with the egg (or milk) wash. Slice two lines in the top of each sausage roll with a knife to let the air escape whilst cooking.
Bake in a hot oven for 20-25 minutes until nice and golden.
⭐ Variations To Mix Up Your Sausage Rolls
If you are looking for something a bit different here are some alternative ideas you can also try.
- ✔️ Vegan: To make this recipe vegan just use vegan sausages and a plant based milk instead of the egg wash.
- ✔️ Pork & Cheddar- Grate 50g of cheddar (or dairy free) cheese and mix together with the sausage meat.
- ✔️ Pork & Apple - swap the chutney for an equal amount of apple sauce to add a little sweetness.
- ✔️ Honey & Mustard - Add a tablespoon of both honey and mustard to the sausage mixture and stir in.
- ✔️ Chicken - For a healthier version, swap the sausage meat for the same quantity of chicken mince or chicken sausagesand add some fresh chopped parsley.
- ✔️ Chilli - Sprinkle some chilli flakes through the sausage meat mixture for a touch of heat.
- ✔️ Sesame Seeds - If sesame isn’t a problem for you, try sprinkling some seeds over the top of the sausage rolls before baking for an added crunch.
💡 Lauren's Tips
- ✔️ Bring The Pastry To Room Temperature: Take the pastry out of the fridge and unroll (leaving it on the greaseproof paper) 15 minutes before you want to use it. This will make the pastry easier to work with.
- ✔️ Easy On The Chutney: Go careful not to put too much chutney in, as it will spill out of the sides when cooking leaving you with a soggy sausage roll!
🥡 Storage
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. You can enjoy them cold or reheat them in the oven at 180°C for about 10 minutes until piping hot. For the best results, I would use the oven and not the microwave, as the pastry will become soggy.
These sausage rolls also freeze really well. Lay them flat on a cold baking tray and freeze for about an hour until solid to prevent them from sticking together. Then, transfer to a freezer bag and store for up to 3 months.
When you’re ready to eat, simply defrost in the fridge overnight and reheat as above or enjoy them cold.
💬 Recipe FAQs
There are lots of options in the supermarkets now for gluten free sausages in the UK. You don’t necessarily need to buy a specialist “free from” product. Most of the supermarket premium sausages are gluten free, a lot of the cheaper sausages contain gluten as they use wheat as a filler to bulk up the sausage, whereas the higher end sausages have more meat content, so are actually better for you too.
I love Heck sausages, the Tesco Finest Range and the Sainsbury's Taste The Difference. Aldi’s specially selected sausages are also gluten free. Please remember to double check all packaging though as the ingredients can change.
Yes! You can prep them the day before and leave them in the fridge overnight, then cook the next day when you are ready to eat.
Traditionally they do as they use puff pastry which contains wheat. As I have used a gluten free puff pastry and gluten free sausages this recipe is totally gluten free!
