How do I stop my sausage rolls from splitting? ›

Line your baking trays with parchment paper or foil before baking. This will act as a non-stick barrier between the pan and the food. 2. Grease the baking tray with butter, oil, or a non-stick cooking spray.

Undercooking: If the sausage rolls are not baked for long enough, the pastry might not fully cook, resulting in a soft and undercooked texture.
