When we hear Sausage Rolls, Gala®, the most popular Nigerian Sausage 
Roll comes to mind. If you want to learn how to make Sausage Rolls that 
do not leave an after-taste of sausages in your mouth, keep reading. :)<br />

I have seen a lot of recipes for Sausage Rolls where a beef sausage 
is slapped on a dough, folded and baked. But that tastes too "sausagey" 
for my liking. I'll rather put the sausage in a bread roll and eat 
instead of wasting my time and electricity baking that in the oven.<br />
<h2>
Nigerian Sausage Roll Ingredients</h2>
The number of Sausage Rolls you will get with the following 
ingredients depends on how flat you roll out your dough and the size you
 cut your sausage rolls during preparation.<br />
<h3>
For the dough</h3>
<ul>
<li>Plain Flour: 300g</li>
<li>Baking Powder: 1 to 2 teaspoons</li>
<li>Margarine: 150g</li>
<li>Salt: ½ teaspoon</li>
<li>Cold Water</li>
</ul>
<h3>
For the sausage filling</h3>
<ul>
<li>300g of sausage (Satis® is a popular brand in Nigeria)</li>
<li>½ teaspoon of ground Nutmeg</li>
<li>1 big stock cube</li>
</ul>
<h3>
Ornamental Ingredient</h3>
<ul>
<li>1 medium-sized egg</li>
</ul>
<h2>
Tools I used while making the Sausage Rolls</h2>
<ul>
<li>Oven: <i>Buy it <a href="http://amzn.com/B004F9Q9GG?tag=allnigereci-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in USA</a> | <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006DCUEAA?tag=allnigereci-21" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in UK</a></i></li>
<li>Glass Bowl <i>Buy it <a href="http://amzn.com/B00004SZ7H?tag=allnigereci-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in USA</a> | <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000KG8GVE?tag=allnigereci-21" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in UK</a></i></li>
<li>Kitchen scale: <i>Buy it <a href="http://amzn.com/B001N07KUE?tag=allnigereci-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in USA</a> | <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000ZNM51O?tag=allnigereci-21" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in UK</a></i></li>
<li>Dough Roller or good old wine bottle. <i>Buy dough roller <a href="http://amzn.com/B000IZ33Q0?tag=allnigereci-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in USA</a> | <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000G04MN0?tag=allnigereci-21" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in UK</a></i></li>
<li>Hand blender for blending the sausages. A normal blender will NOT 
work well for this task because with normal blenders, you will need to 
add water to what you are blending but in this case, you don't want to 
add water to the sausages. <i>Buy it <a href="http://amzn.com/B000EGA6QI?tag=allnigereci-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in USA</a> | <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000LYSSWW?tag=allnigereci-21" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in UK</a></i></li>
<li>A table: – You will need a flat surface to roll out and cut the dough.</li>
<li>A blunt knife for cutting the dough.</li>
<li>A brush for rubbing the egg on the sausage rolls.</li>
<li>A pestle.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h2>
Directions for preparing the Nigerian Sausage Rolls</h2>
<h3>
The Sausage Filling</h3>
I don't like sausages because they are tasteless and salty. For this 
reason, I like to season sausages before using them in my Sausage Rolls.
 Boiling them with seasoning is never enough because the seasoning 
cannot penetrate the compact sausage.<br />
The following steps will show you how I season my sausages before using them.<br />
<ol>
<li>Put the sausages in a bowl and use a blunt object eg a pestle to <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/marsh-sausage.jpg" target="_blank">mash them up</a>.</li>
<li>Add the ground nutmeg.</li>
<li>Crush the stock cubes with your fingers and add to the mashed 
sausages. At this time, feel free to add any other seasoning that 
catches your fancy.</li>
<li>Stir well to mix the added ingredients with the mashed sausages.</li>
<li>Use the hand blender to <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/blend-sausage.jpg" target="_blank">blend the sausages</a> into a smooth paste.</li>
<li>Set this aside.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<h3>
The Sausage Roll dough</h3>
The dough for Sausage Rolls is mixed exactly as that of <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/snacks/nigerian-meat-pie.html" title="Nigerian Meat Pie">Nigerian Meat Pie</a><br />
<ol>
<li>Put the flour in a sizeable bowl; add the baking powder and salt.
 Mix these dry ingredients very well. You really do not need a lot of 
salt for the sausage roll dough. Most sausages contain a lot of salt 
already. </li>
<li>Use a tablespoon to scoop the margarine in small bits into the bowl of flour. The smaller you make the <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/bits-of-margarine.jpg" target="_blank">bits of margarine</a>, the easier it will be for you to rub them into the flour.</li>
<li>Use finger tips to rub the margarine into the flour till the mix becomes <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/flour-butter-mix.jpg" target="_blank">like crumbs</a>.</li>
<li>Add cold water in bits and mix till a <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/ball-of-dough.jpg" target="_blank">stiff ball of dough</a> is formed. You only need a small quantity of water for this to happen.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<h3>
Get other stuff ready :)</h3>
<ol>
<li>Set your oven to 170°C (~335°F) to preheat while you continue with the sausage roll.</li>
<li>Rub margarine on the insides of the oven tray, spray flour on it,
 pour out the excess flour and set aside. This is so that the undersides
 of the sausage rolls do not burn or stick to the tray during baking.</li>
<li>Break the egg, beat it and set aside, you will need it later.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<h3>
Roll, Cut, Fill, Fold and Close</h3>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/roll-dough.jpg" target="_blank">Roll out the dough</a> to a 3mm thickness.</li>
<li>Use a blunt knife to make a <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/rectangular-cut.jpg" target="_blank">rectangular cut</a> on the rolled out dough.</li>
<li>Remove the excess dough and <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/rub-egg.jpg" target="_blank">rub the egg</a> on the rectangular dough.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/scoop-sausage.jpg" target="_blank">Scoop some sausage</a>
 along the edge of the length of the rectangle. The thickness of the 
sausage should be such that you can comfortably fold the dough and still
 be left with an overlap. Watch the video below to see how I did that.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/fold-sausage.jpg" target="_blank">Fold the dough</a> as you would fold a mat.</li>
<li>Rest the folded roll on the excess dough to make a seal like you would with the flap of an envelope.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/cut-sausage.jpg" target="_blank">Cut</a> the sausage roll to desired lengths.</li>
<li>Roll out more dough, cut, fill, fold, cut into desired lengths and place in the greased oven tray till all the dough is used.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/rub-egg-sausage.jpg" target="_blank">Rub the egg</a> on the sausage rolls. This gives them a golden brown look when done.</li>
<li>Set the tray in the preheated oven and bake till the Sausage 
Rolls are golden brown. This should take approximately 40 minutes 
depending on the thickness of your dough and the type/heating capacity 
of your oven.</li>
</ol>

Tools you will need to make a meat pie</h2>
<ul>
<li>Oven: This will be used for baking the meat pie. <i>Buy it <a href="http://amzn.com/B004F9Q9GG?tag=allnigereci-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in USA</a> | <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006DCUEAA?tag=allnigereci-21" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in UK</a></i></li>

<li>A table: You will need a flat surface to roll out and cut the dough for the meat pie.</li>
<li>Meat Pie cutter: There are special cutters in the market but if you have a <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/meatpie-cutter.jpg" target="_blank">pot cover</a> with sharp edges that can make a clean cut on the flattened dough, please use this.</li>
<li>Table fork: This will be used to press the edges of the meat pie after the filling has been added.</li>
</ul>
<h2>
Directions for preparing the Nigerian Meat Pie</h2>
<h2>
<i>The Meat Pie Filling</i></h2>
<ol>
<li>Peel the Irish potatoes and scrape the carrots, wash and cut these two into tiny cubes.</li>
<li>Wash and slice the onions into tiny pieces.</li>
<li>With your cooker or stove set to medium heat, heat the vegetable 
oil in a pot, add the diced onions and stir for a bit, add the minced 
meat and stir vigorously till the minced meat turns pale.</li>
<li>Add 1 cup of water and the seasoning. Cover the pot and once the 
contents of the pot starts boiling, add the diced carrots and potatoes 
and cook till everything is well done.</li>
<li>Dissolve 2 tablespoons of plain flour in half cup of cold water 
and add to the meat pie filling. This tip is so that the meat pie 
filling does not dry up during baking. It is also what keeps the meat 
pie filling moist.</li>
<li>Add salt to taste, stir the contents and turn off the heat. Set the <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/meat-pie-filling.jpg" target="_blank">meat pie filling</a> aside. Now is the time to prepare the dough for the meat pie.</li>
</ol>
<h2>
<i>The Meat Pie dough</i></h2>
<div itemprop="instructions">
<ol>
<li>Put the 1 kg of flour in a sizeable bowl; add 2 teaspoons of 
baking powder and 2 pinches of salt. You really do not need a lot of 
salt for the meat pie dough. The meat pie will get most of its taste 
from the filling. Mix these dry ingredients very well.</li>
<li>Use a tablespoon to scoop the margarine in small bits into the bowl of flour. The smaller you make the <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/bits-of-margarine.jpg" target="_blank">bits of margarine</a>, the easier it will be for you to rub them into the flour.</li>
<li>Use finger tips to rub the margarine into the flour till the mix becomes <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/flour-butter-mix.jpg" target="_blank">like crumbs</a>.<br /> <br />
<b>Note:</b> In Nigeria, we also refer to margarine as butter but for my
 audience in the Western countries, please do NOT use butter for the 
meatpie dough because butter is too hard and this makes it difficult for
 you to mix it with the flour to achieve the crumbly look. So please use
 margarine. <br /> <br />
Also butter is quite heavy so it makes the dough very greasy which hinders the elasticity of the dough.<br /> <br />

Can I use melted butter? No, because it simply ruins the meat pie.</li>
<li>Now, start adding cold water in bits while at the same time folding the mix till a <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/ball-of-dough.jpg" target="_blank">stiff ball of dough</a>
 is formed. You will be surprised at how small quantity of water you 
need to get the dough stiff. At most, all you need for the 1 kg of flour
 is half a cup of water.</li>
<li>Knead the dough very well, put back in the bowl and leave to rest for 5 to 7 minutes. This makes the dough more elastic.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<h2>
<i>Cut, Fill, Fold and Close</i></h2>
<ol>
<li>Set your oven to 170°C (335°F) and leave to preheat while you continue with the meat pie.</li>
<li>Rub margarine on the insides of the oven tray and set aside. This
 is so that the undersides of the meat pies do not burn or stick to the 
tray during baking.</li>
<li>Break the egg, beat it and set aside, you will need it pretty soon.</li>
<li>Knead the dough some more, <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/roll-out-dough.jpg" target="_blank">roll</a> it out to achieve a 5mm thickness.</li>
<li>Use a cutter, be it the cover of a small pot or a meat pie cutter, to make <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/round-cuts.jpg" target="_blank">round cuts</a> on the rolled out dough.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/remove-excess-dough.jpg" target="_blank">Remove the excess dough</a>, leaving behind the round cuts.</li>
<li>Scoop some meat pie filling into the center of the round cuts, 
the quantity should be such that you can comfortably close the dough 
without overflows. Don't worry if you over-filled the first one, you 
have many meat pies to fill today so at some point you will know just 
the right quantity of meat pie filling to scoop into the dough.</li>
<li>Rub the egg on the inside edge of the cut meatpie dough. Watch 
the video to see how this is done. This is to ensure that your meat pie 
is perfectly sealed and does not open up while it is being baked.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/fold-meat-pie.jpg" target="_blank">Fold</a> one part of the dough to meet the other end and use a fork to <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/press-meat-pie.jpg" target="_blank">press</a>
 the 2 edges together to close tightly. Place your work of art in the 
oven tray and repeat the previous step till all the cut out dough is 
exhausted.</li>
<li>Roll out more dough, cut, fill, close and <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/meatpie-oven-tray.jpg" target="_blank">place</a> in the greased oven tray till all the dough is used.</li>
<li>Rub the egg on the meat pies. This gives the meat pie a golden brown look when done.</li>
<li>Set the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
 This time will depend on the type and heating capacity of your oven. 
For some ovens, the meat pie will be done in half an hour, for some, it 
may take up to 50 mins. Whatever type of oven you have, the important 
thing to know is that the best meat pies are the ones baked at medium 
heat. You can confirm that the meat pie is done when it starts browning.
 It is alright to open the oven to check this.</li>
