The king of every buffet, in my opinion, is the sausage roll. It really is a party when the sausage roll is invited. This is way to truly celebrate this prince of the party my Sausage Roll Wreath. Simple to make and so scrumptious, make this festive season special and treat yourself to this.
To make this extra simple I use ready rolled puff pastry sheets. Really is so easy takes away any stress of making puff pastry. Which is of course perfectly possible however the festive season can be busy enough without that added pressure. I am happy to use shop bought pastry every time. In fact I encourage people to use it.
To create the filling I use pork sausage meat and add plenty of flavour. The flavours for this festive wreath are Nutmeg, Fresh Parsley & Sage as well as Dreied Apricots and of course Salt and Pepper. The key to a tasty sausage roll is to make sure every bite has all of the flavours. So make sure that every ingredient is cut small enough. The fresh herbs want to be very finely minced, I use a mezzaluna to easily get the herbs chopped.
There are two components to a sausage roll the filling and the pastry. The pastry is what invites you to taste the filling so should look inviting. Now let’s be honest, it’s not hard to make puff pastry look inviting however I do think it needs to be brushed with egg wash, which is just a beaten egg. The importance of the egg cannot be understated. Without the beaten egg brushed over you will not get that inviting golden brown. You will end up with a pale, softer roll that is not as visually appealing. However it will still taste good but an egg wash takes it to the next level.
Cooking for Christmas is one of my favourite things and I love creating new things. Some of which become traditions and others happy memories. This Sausage Roll Wreath is one I’ll be making again and again. If you are keen to try some other festive favourites of mine take a look at:

I hope you love this Sausage Roll Wreath as much as I do. If you try it let me know what you think in the comments below. Share your photos with me on social media and use the #CUBBintheKitchen to be featured in my stories.

Ingredients
- 2 Sheets Ready Roll Puff Pastry
- 450 grams Sausage Meat
- 1 bunch Flat Leaf Parsley (2 tbsp finely chopped)
- 1 bunch Sage Leaves (2 tbsp finely chopped plus small leaves to decorate)
- 100 grams Dried Apricots (About 15)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 0.5 tsp Nutmeg
- 1 Egg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
Take the Puff Pastry Sheets out of the fridge to come to temperature.
Take the small leaves from the Sage and set aside, you want 12.
Finely chop the remaining Sage leaves and a bunch of Flat Leaf Parsley, you want 2 tbsp of each.
Next finely chop the Apricots.
Mix all of the chopped Sage and Parsley, Apricots with the Sausage Meat, Salt, Pepper and Nutmeg.
Once fully combined divide the mixutre in half and set aside.
In a small bowl, cup or ramekin beat the Egg, this will be the glue as well as the egg wash.
Unroll the Puff Pastry and lay it so the short side is closest to you.
Take half of the Sausage filling and lay in a line along the long side, leaving a gap about 2 inches.
Brush some beaten Egg along the side of the filling, on the larger side of pastry, and fold the smaller side over the filling.
Brush another line of egg next to the previous one and roll onto this to creat a good seal.
With a knife cut the excess pastry and use this to decorate, I like to cut stars out of it to place on top of the wreath, holly shapes look lovely too.
make sure the seal is good and you are happy with the roundness and lay it on a lined baking tray seal side down.
Trim the ends so they are nice and neat. (Bake these end bits as a cooks treat!)
With a sharp knife or a good pair of scissors make cut at the half way point of the Sausage Roll. Do not cut All the way through just ¾ of the way.
Next repeat this cut at the half way points between the middle and the end. So you should have 4 sections that are still connected along one side.
Each section make two more cuts to create three mini sausage rolls that are still connected.
Take the ends and shape into a wreath with the cuts on the outside.
Use the beaten Egg to glue the ends together then brush beathen egg all over the Pastry Wreath.
Lay the small sage leaves over alternate rolls and pastry shapes on the others. a little more egg on the patsry shapes to ensure browning.
If you are making two wraeths make the second now. You can make and freeze the second before baking.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until gloriously burnished.
Notes
Leftovers Tip
One fun way of using up leftover Sausage Roll Wreaths is to make them into a fun stuffing. Although personally I can eat sausage rolls hot or cold.

This week I’ve had many conversations about breakfast and how we start our day. So to mark this here is a completely American, Disney breakfast & I love breakfast! In fact it might be my favourite meal of the day...well at least the morning 🤷♂️😂How I start my day directly affects the rest of it. A hectic start will result in a rather unsettled day.Now this breakfast from the Plaza Restaurant in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World was one of my favourite things to do after a rope drop morning. However the Plaza Restaurant only serves lunch and dinner now. I’d love to have this spot back for a@lazy breakfast.This is also a good time to mention that I have food reviews from my trips to Disney World as well as some recreation recipes all on my blog.To find them click link in bio then tap on Disney Food.#CUBBintheKitchen #Disney #Food #DisneyFood #PlazaGardens #MagicKingdom #WDW #WaltDisneyWorld #DisneySnacks #Mickey #MickeyWaffles #MickeyWaffle #Coffee #IcedCoffee #Disneygram #DisneyDining #DisneyFoodBlog #DisneyStyle #America #PlazaRestaurant #DisneysMagicKingdom #Biscuit #Biscuits #Bacon #HomeFries #BreakfastPotatoes #Waffle

Crispy Chilli BeefThis is a Chinese takeaway classic, strips of crispy shredded beef smothered in a sticky chilli sauce. Yes this is a bit more of a treat dish but most takeaway dishes are. This recipe is so quick it takes less time than you would spend ordering and waiting for delivery. My recipe for Crispy Chilli Beef requires two pans and hardly any patience.Recipe on the blog now under ‘Fakeaway Recipes’ #CUBBintheKitchen #BrownFood #Brown #Chilli #ChineseFood #Fakeaway #FakeawayFriday #FridayFood #ChilliBeef #CrispyChilliBeef #Takeaway #TakeawayFood #Fakeaways #britainsbesthomecooks_ #worldsgreatesthomecooks #Food #Recipe #RecipeOfTheDay #ChineseTakeout #Takeout #TakeoutFood #Delicious #Rice #FriedRice #FoodILove #TasteSoGood #EatColourful #EatThis #ForkYeah #FridayFakeaway

It’s a grey drizzly day, in others words an ideal baking day, and these are another perfect thing to bake. Super soft brownie-like bites of heaven. These Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are truly delightful. They also make excellent treats for Mother’s Day which is coming up here in the UK - not that I need an excuse to make these.Recipe on the blog now.#CUBBintheKitchen #Chocolate #Cookies #Baking #MothersDay #MothersDayGifts #ForkYeah #Food #Foodp*rn #foodstagram #foodie #foodiesofinstagram #foodblogger #foodpics #britainsbesthomecooks_ #worldsgreatesthomecooks #networkingfoodies #discoverunder5k #discoverunder2k #Sweet #Treat #Tasty #foodbloggerlife #ukfoodblogger

Black Bean Tacos These Black Bean Tacos are such a great meal. A mix of textures, temperatures and flavours creates perfect mouthfuls. This is meal to eat with people you are comfortable with, you certainly may get messy. That, in my opinion, is half the fun. It does not weigh you down or feel heavy and is vegetarian.Recipe on the blog now.What does your perfect taco look like?#CUBBintheKitchen #Tacos #Taco #Food #Veganuary2021 #Vegetarian #VegetarianRecipes #VegetarianRecipe #Vegan #VeganRecipes #Veganuary #Meatless #MeatFree #MeatlessMeals #MeatFreeMonday #MeatlessMonday #Flexitarian #PlantBased #TacoTuesday #Foodie #foodphotography #foodp*rn #foodstylist #foodstagram #forkyeah #foodiesofinstagram #foodblogger #foodpics #britainsbesthomecooks_ #worldsgreatesthomecooks

Halloumi Steaks with Tomato JamThis recipe has become a real favourite in my house. Completely vegetarian and full of flavour. The different textures are fantastic and give each mouthful variety. It is also fairly easy to make. So you see you should make Halloumi Steaks with Tomato Jam, what are you waiting for?This is a true low effort meal. The amount of Jam this makes is enough for 8 portions and so if this is already made I zap it in the microwave to warm up and cook the rest and can have food on the table in 15 minutes! This recipe does require multiple pans and so to some this may not feel simple but once you have courgettes grilling, giant cous cous simmering and halloumi in a dry frying pan it’s occasional turning that’s all.Recipe on the blog now under Vegetarian and Vegan Recipes#CUBBintheKitchen #Vegetarian #Halloumi #HalloumiSteak #Tomato #Tomatoes #TomatoJam #GiantCousCous #Veg #Veganuary #VegetarianRecipes #VegetarianMeals #Vegan #Veganuary2021 #foodphotography #foodstagram #foodiesofinstagram #foodblogger #foodforfoodies #foodbloggerlife #britainsbesthomecooks_ #meatfreemonday #meatlessmonday #discoverunder2k #ukfoodbloggers #worldsgreatesthomecooks #Foodshare
