Some Useful Tips

• You can experiment with the filling by replacing meat-free Richmond with other vegan sausages. You can also make your own sausages at home.
• You can create any size or shape by using the same ingredients. Very long thin sausages can be made and then cut into bite-size pieces.
• You can add more ingredients under sausages, such as red onion chutney.
• If there is extra pastry, you can use a sharp knife and cut the extra edges to create a lattice pattern.
• Increase the number of ingredients if you want to make Greggs Vegan Sausage Roll for more than four people.

Can I use coconut milk?

Choose your preferred type of milk and brand. We used soya milk. Be aware that the type you use will affect the taste and outer layer of the finished sausage rolls. That’s why we highly recommend avoiding anything which is highly flavored or sweetened. So, coconut milk should especially be avoided.

How to make it allergy-friendly?

This Greggs vegan sausage roll recipe is free from dairy, egg, and nuts. But it’s not gluten-free. If you want a gluten-free version of this recipe, simply buy a ready-rolled vegan gluten-free pasty.

Can I make Greggs Vegan Sausage Rolls ahead?

These rolls are amazing to make ahead in a large batch to freeze. Place the Greggs Vegan Copycat Sausage Rolls in a tray and make sure that they aren’t touching each other. Once they are frozen, place them in a freezer bag or airtight container for proper storage.

Leftover Greggs Vegan Sausage Rolls

If you do have leftovers that you don’t think will get eaten within a few days, you can wrap them to store in the freezer. You can eat them when they are thawed but warm them up first.

You can use the following ways for reheating:

1. In the oven: It will take longer, but your rolls will remain crispier.
2. In Microwave: It will be quicker, but the roll will be soggier. We will not recommend using this option.
3. In an Air fryer: Finally, an air fryer is also the best option to reheat the roll without losing the crispy structure.

Some people also reheat them in a nonstick pan, but it will also not provide you desired results.

Can you cook these rolls straight from the freezer?
