I tried to recreate a Greggs sausage roll at home… and accidentally beat it.
In this video I compare four versions: a fresh Greggs sausage roll, a frozen Greggs version from the supermarket Iceland, a quick homemade version using ready-made puff pastry, and a full homemade version with puff pastry from scratch. The goal was simple, make it taste the same. The result was not what I expected.
If you’ve ever wondered what actually goes into a Greggs sausage roll and whether you can make one at home, this turned into a proper test of effort vs reward, and which version is actually worth your time.
