If you’re looking for a savory, keto-friendly snack that’s as indulgent as it is satisfying, then these Keto Sausage Rolls are the perfect solution. A classic British favorite, sausage rolls are typically made with puff pastry that’s high in carbs, but by using a keto-friendly dough and filling them with savory sausage meat, you can enjoy these delicious treats without derailing your low-carb or ketogenic lifestyle.

These keto sausage rolls are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. Whether you’re hosting a party, looking for a quick and satisfying snack, or need a hearty breakfast on the go, these rolls will quickly become a staple in your low-carb diet. Using almond flour, coconut flour, and cheese for the dough, this recipe replaces the traditional high-carb pastry with a keto-friendly alternative that doesn’t sacrifice taste or texture.

Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour (150g)
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour (50g)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (100g)
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese (30g)
  • 2 large eggs (for the dough and egg wash)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder (optional, for extra elasticity)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for added flavor)

For the Sausage Filling:

  • 1 pound (450g) ground pork sausage (you can also use turkey sausage or chicken sausage for a leaner option)
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely diced (about 50g)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage (optional, but highly recommended for traditional sausage flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking the onions and garlic)

For the Egg Wash:

  • 1 egg, beaten (for brushing over the dough to create a golden, crispy crust)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Sausage Filling

  1. Cook the Onion and Garlic: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the onions are soft and translucent.
  2. Cook the Sausage: Add the ground pork sausage (or the type of sausage you’re using) to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Break the sausage into small pieces with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked through. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Season the Sausage: Add the dried sage, ground mustard powder, salt, and pepper to the cooked sausage mixture. Stir well to combine. Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the dough.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

  1. Melt the Cheese: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are fully melted and combined. This process will take about 1-2 minutes in total.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper. If you are using psyllium husk powder for extra dough elasticity, add it here as well.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Once the cheese mixture is melted, add the eggs and melted butter (if using) to the cheese mixture and stir until smooth. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. You may need to use your hands to knead the dough gently until it forms a soft, pliable consistency. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more almond flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it’s easier to handle.
  4. Roll Out the Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out with a rolling pin. Roll it into a rectangle shape, about 1/4-inch thick. If the dough sticks to the rolling pin, you can dust it lightly with almond flour.
  5. Cut the Dough: Use a sharp knife to cut the rolled dough into long strips that will be the size of your sausage rolls. Each strip should be about 3 inches wide and long enough to encase the sausage filling.

Step 3: Assemble the Sausage Rolls

  1. Add the Sausage Filling: Take a small amount of the cooked sausage mixture and place it in the center of each dough strip. Use about 2-3 tablespoons of sausage filling per roll, depending on how large your dough strips are. Be sure not to overfill them.
  2. Seal the Rolls: Carefully fold the dough over the sausage filling to enclose the mixture. Pinch the edges to seal the dough tightly, ensuring the filling doesn’t spill out during baking. If desired, you can use a fork to press the edges together for a decorative look.
  3. Brush with Egg Wash: Beat one egg and brush a thin layer over the top of each sausage roll to give them a golden, shiny finish after baking.

Step 4: Bake the Sausage Rolls

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Bake: Place the sausage rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the rolls are crisp on the outside.
  3. Cool and Serve: Once the sausage rolls are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Useful Tips for Success

  1. Dough Consistency: If your dough is too sticky and hard to work with, add small amounts of almond flour to help it come together. The dough should be soft but not overly sticky.
  2. Filling Variations: Feel free to get creative with the sausage filling! You can add additional seasonings like chili flakes for a spicy kick or chopped spinach for a nutrient boost. If you want to make the filling dairy-free, simply omit the cream cheese.
  3. Refrigeration: These sausage rolls can be made ahead of time. Prepare them up to the point of baking, then cover them and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bake them just before serving.
  4. Baking Tip: For an extra crispy finish, you can also spray the tops of the rolls lightly with avocado oil spray before baking.
  5. Meal Prep: These keto sausage rolls make a fantastic meal prep option. They store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or can be frozen for up to a month. To reheat, simply bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
