Find out how to cook sausage patties in the oven
Sausage patties are a common choice for breakfast. When you don't feel like going out, you can make them at home. Today, let's share how to bake sausage patties in the oven!
Baking Sausage Patties in the Oven
Ingredient Preparation
Sausages: You can choose regular sausages or smoked sausages.
Flour: Regular flour is fine, about 200 grams.
Water: An appropriate amount, adjusted according to the water absorption of the flour.
Salt: A little, to increase the gluten of the dough.
Cooking oil: An appropriate amount, used to brush the surface of the dough to increase crispness.
Scallions (optional): To add aroma and texture.
Egg (optional): 1, used to brush the surface to make the pastry shiny.
Preparing the Dough
Add flour and salt to a bowl and stir well.
Slowly add water, stirring while adding, until a smooth dough is formed. If the dough is too dry, you can add a little more water.
Place the dough on a cutting board, knead until the surface is smooth, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Preparing the Sausages
Cut the sausages into thin slices, about 0.5 cm thick. You can secure the sausage slices with toothpicks to prevent them from curling.
Making the Sausage Patties
Divide the rested dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a thin round sheet.
Place a slice of sausage in the middle of the dough sheet, then fold the dough sheet in half and press the edges tightly to ensure the seal is airtight.
Press the edges with a fork to create a pattern and prevent the filling from leaking out.
Baking the Sausage Patties
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
Line a baking sheet with baking paper, place the wrapped sausage patties on the baking sheet, and brush the surface with a layer of cooking oil or egg liquid to make the pastry more crispy and shiny.
Place the baking sheet in the middle of the oven and bake for 15 - 20 minutes until the sausage patties are golden brown and crispy on the surface.
Tips
Dough Consistency: Don't knead the dough too hard. A softer dough will result in a more crispy pastry.
Sausage Selection: Choose your favorite sausages, such as smoked sausages or Italian sausages. Each type has a different flavor.
Brushing with Oil or Egg Liquid: Brushing with oil makes the pastry more crispy and shiny.
Monitoring the Status: Pay attention to the status of the sausage patties during baking. If the surface color is too dark, lower the temperature or shorten the baking time.
How long does it take to cook sausage patties in the oven?
It takes about 15 - 25 minutes. The baking time of sausage patties in the oven depends on the size of the sausage patties and the actual temperature of the oven. Under normal circumstances, it takes about 20 - 25 minutes at a temperature of 180°C - 200°C (356°F - 392°F).
Preheating the Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C - 200°C (356°F - 392°F) for 5 - 10 minutes.
Preparing the Patties: Place the sausage patties on a baking sheet, keeping a good distance between them to avoid sticking during baking.
Baking Time:
Regular-sized Patties: Bake at 180°C - 200°C for 20 - 25 minutes.
Larger Patties: It takes about 25 - 30 minutes.
Flipping and Monitoring: It is best to flip the patties every 10 minutes during baking to ensure even heat on both sides.
How long to cook sausage patties in oven at 350?
When baking sausage patties in a 350°F (about 177°C) oven, it usually takes about 12 - 20 minutes. The specific time depends on the thickness and size of the sausage patties:
Thin and Small: If the sausage patties are about 1 cm thick and 6 - 8 cm in diameter, bake for 12 - 15 minutes. Thin sausage patties heat up quickly, and 12 minutes is usually enough to achieve a golden brown and crispy surface and a well-cooked interior.
Medium Thickness and Size: For sausage patties that are 1.5 - 2 cm thick and 8 - 10 cm in diameter, it is recommended to bake for 15 - 18 minutes. This ensures that the sausage patties are baked to an ideal state from the outside to the inside, without burning the surface.
Thick and Large: If the sausage patties are thicker than 2 cm or very large, with a diameter of more than 10 cm, it will take 18 - 20 minutes, or even longer. It is best to flip the patties over around 10 minutes during baking to ensure even heating on both sides.
How long to cook frozen sausage patties in oven?
It takes about 20 - 25 minutes. Under normal circumstances, preheat the oven to 180°C - 200°C (356°F - 392°F) and bake the frozen sausage patties for 20 - 25 minutes. Remember to flip the patties once in the middle to make both sides golden brown and crispy. If the sausage patties are larger, you can appropriately extend the time to 25 - 30 minutes. Generally, the sausage patties are cooked when they are golden brown on the surface and no pink gravy oozes out.
How to cook sausage patties without burning them?
Surface Treatment: Make a few cuts on the surface of the sausage patties or poke a few small holes with a toothpick. This prevents the patties from bursting due to expansion during heating and helps with even heat transfer, avoiding local burning.
Cold Pan and Cold Oil: Place the sausage patties in a cold pan with a small amount of cooking oil (about 1 tablespoon) and slowly heat over medium-low heat. Let the oil in the patties release gradually, preventing sticking and avoiding overcooking on the outside while undercooking on the inside.
Water Frying Method: Add a small amount of water (about 1 measuring cup) to the pan and use a combination of steam and oil to semi-fry and semi-boil. This ensures the inside of the patties is well cooked while maintaining the crispy outer layer.
Frequent Flipping: Flip the patties every 1 - 2 minutes during frying to ensure even heat on both sides. Take them out of the pan when the surface of the patties is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Low Temperature and Slow Frying: Use medium-low heat throughout to avoid burning the outer layer due to high temperature. If the bottom of the pan is too dry, you can add a small amount of water and continue slow frying.
Combination of Steaming and Baking: If using an oven, first place the patties in the middle of the oven, preheated to 180°C - 200°C, and bake for 15 - 20 minutes. Flip them in the middle to ensure both sides are golden brown and crispy.
How to tell if sausage patties are done?
You can judge by the following methods:
Observing the Color
Golden Surface: A well-baked sausage patty has a golden brown surface, slightly crispy. If the color is too dark, it means it has been baked for too long.
Sausage Color: If the surface of the sausage is slightly swollen and the color turns white or golden brown, it means it is cooked.
Checking the Oil
Oil Seepage: If there is obvious oil on the baking sheet, it means the sausage is cooked.
Poking with Chopsticks
Easy Penetration: Gently poke the sausage with a chopstick. If it can penetrate easily and no pink gravy oozes out, it means the sausage is baked.
Checking the Internal Temperature
Reaching 71°C: Use a meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature of the sausage. When the temperature reaches 71°C (160°F), it means the sausage is cooked.
Paying Attention to the Baking Time
Baking Time: Sausage patties take 15 - 20 minutes to bake in the oven (at 180°C - 200°C). If the sausage patties are larger, you can appropriately extend the baking time.
Tips
Frequent Observation: Keep an eye on the sausage patties during baking to prevent burning.
Even Flipping: Flip the patties every 5 - 10 minutes to ensure even heat on both sides.
Preheating in Advance: Preheat the oven to 180°C - 200°C in advance to make the sausage patties cook faster.
