What are Fathead Sausage Rolls?

Fathead Sausage Rolls are a keto twist on the traditional sausage roll recipe. Instead of using pastry dough, these rolls feature a fathead dough, made primarily from mozzarella cheese, almond flour, and cream cheese. This ingenious substitution not only slashes the carb content but also adds a delightful richness to the rolls.

What You Will Love about this Recipe

HEALTHY – If you’re following a keto or low-carb diet, these sausage rolls are a game-changer. They allow you to indulge in a classic comfort food without derailing your dietary goals.

The Ingredients

Lamb Mince – I use a lean lamb mince. You can substitute with beef or chicken if preferred.
Lebanese 7 Spice – Also known as Baharat, is a delicious seasoning for lamb. Swap with Cajun Seasoning, Fajita Seasoning or even Meat Curry Powder for a tasty alternative.
Fathead – My Fathead Dough Recipe is so easy to make and the perfect keto pastry for these rolls. You can use our Crackenbread Pastry from Egg Fast 3.0 for this recipe as well.

How to Make Fathead Sausage Rolls

Step 1. Preheat oven to 200℃ fan/220°C static/425°F. Place onion, parsley and seasoning into a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Add remaining ingredients (except fathead); pulse until combined.

Step 2. Shape the mixture into a 40 cm long log.

Step 3. Roll out the fathead into a large rectangle (the same length as your log) about 20 cm wide.

Step 4. Place the sausage along one edge and roll to enclose. Cut into portions or slice into 2-4 larger pieces (they can be cut smaller after baking).

Step 5. Bake 15 – 18 minutes or until cooked through and pastry is golden brown.

Tips & Tricks

For a golden-brown finish, brush the tops of the rolls with beaten egg before baking.
Make sure to space the rolls evenly on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
Keep an eye on the rolls towards the end of the baking time to prevent them from over-browning.

Ways to Serve and Alternative Fillings

Serve the Fathead Sausage Rolls hot as a snack, appetizer, or even as part of a meal with a side salad.
Add a range of different sugar free sauces like Keto Ketchup, Keto BBQ Sauce, or Low Carb Ranch Sauce.
Experiment with alternative fillings such as pork sausage, spicy chicken with jalapenos, or vegetarian options like spinach and feta.

FAQs

Can I Freeze Fathead Sausage Rolls?

Yes, these sausage rolls freeze exceptionally well. Simply allow them to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container or freezer bag. To reheat, bake them in a preheated oven until heated through.

Can I Use a Different Meat for the Filling?

Absolutely! While lamb mince adds a unique flavor, you can substitute it with any ground meat of your choice, such as beef, pork, or chicken.

Notes

INGREDIENTS FOR LAMB SAUSAGE ROLL RECIPE

I use 80/20 meat-to-fat lamb mince (the higher fat will add flavour). You can use any mince or make your own.

Swap Za’atar Spices in place of Seven Spices for another tasty well-seasoned option.

MIXING LAMB KOFTA

When mixing lamb mince in a food processor, choose a pulse function to avoid “over-blending” the meat. You can mix well in a large mixing bowl if you do not have a food processor. This mixture also makes terrific burgers. Just shape them into large patties and grill or barbecue.

Shape with a premade kebab mold (optional)

LAMB KOFTA THERMOMIX

This recipe is so easy to whip up koftas with a Thermomix (with or without pastry).

STORAGE AND FREEZING

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze the sausage rolls raw or baked.

Is there a substitute for the Mozzarella? My family are not great cheese eaters. I’d love to make some of your recipes but not sure they would eat anything with a cheesey flavour. I love them !!

  Hi Lorraine, I am sorry but the pastry does not work without the cheese to hold it together.

Yum….just yum! This is a family weekend favourite. I always make sure I have some of these in the freezer. Having the keto equivalent of “normal” quick and easy food on standby is a lifesaver for me. Thank you.
