Im usually not a fan of making bread, but when you got pre made gluten free bread mix that's super easy to whip up- you can sign me up!
For these gluten free rolls, I used The Flour Bag Baking Company Bread Mix. I filled the dough with a tasty tomato, basil and onion, sausage mixture, and cheese. Then rolled it up, sliced them and topped it off with an extra sprinkle of cheese, and a delectable blend of garlic, parsley and olive oil. They baked beautifully, and smelt divine- the taste took me back to my childhood.
These wholesome gluten free sausage rolls are perfect for sharing, snacking, and storing.
See below for the recipe and step-by-step video for making these scrumptious sausage rolls.
Yield approximately 16 rolls
For The Gluten Free Dough
1 Pack of The Flour Bag Baking Company Bread Mix
1 1/4 Cup Warm Water
Egg Replacer for 2 Eggs (follow instructions for replacing 2 whole eggs)
2 tsp Vinegar
Method
Empty entire bread mix pack into a bowl and whisk to properly distribute the yeast (already added to the flour mix) throughout the mixture.
In a separate bowl, add all of the other ingredients and whisk until well combined.
Using a stand mixer and bowl, add the wet ingredients and then the flour mix and beat on medium speed until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl and forms a dough. Note: the dough will still be slightly sticky.
Transfer the dough to a well greased bowl with olive oil, shape into a ball and smoothen the top with a little more oil.
Store the bowl in a warm spot to rise for 25 minutes.
For The Tomato Basil Sausage Filling
1 - 2 Tbl Vegan Butter or Olive Oil
2/3 Cup Diced Onions
6 Garlic cloves, finely diced
6 Vegan Sausages, chopped into small pieces
1 Cup Tomato Basil Pizza Sauce (and some extra for spreading on the dough)
Vegan Cheese, sliced or grated. (Set aside until ready to assemble the rolls)
Method
Heat a non stick pan or skillet on medium heat, then add vegan butter or oil.
Toss in onion and garlic, saute until fragrant then add the diced sausage. Then Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce and cook for a few minutes until the falvours are well combined and the sausages are lightly browned. Season with salt to taste.
For The Garlic, Parsley Oil
4 Garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp Parsley Flakes
4 Tbl Olive Oil

Add everything to a bowl and mix until well combined. Set aside until you're ready to assemble the rolls.
For Assembling & Baking The Rolls

Remove the raised dough from the bowl and place on a floured surface.
Gently knead and form a smooth ball with the dough.
