Sausage Bap With Boozy Caramelised Onions
When it comes to making the perfect Sausage Bap - our recipe nails it! Soft fluffy bread rolls stuffed with juicy sausages and topped with boozy caramelised onions. Our sausage butty is just TOO GOOD!
We make them using Fletchers Barmcakes and if you live in Manchester/Lancashire then believe me these are the BEST barmcakes ever! They're soft, always so fresh and they smell so good!
And if you're wondering what is a bap? Well it's literally just a floury bread roll. They have a different local name depending on where you are in the UK. Near me, they're barmcakes. Always!
When we make these for Bonfire parties or Halloween night, then I top the sausages with caramelised onions that have been fried really slowly in butter and beer. They taste oh so perfect.
Our sausage bap recipe is ideal for eating around the bonfire outdoors on a cold night, perhaps alongside a mug of mulled cider.
Sausage Bap Ingredients
To make our delicious Sausage Bap with boozy caramelised onions you'll just need a handful of ingredients.
- Sausages - choose proper bangers, nice thick sausages with a high meat content
- Baps - whatever bread rolls you like to use
- Large Onions - sliced
- Butter - frying onions in butter makes them taste extra delicious.
- Brown Sugar - this adds a touch of sweetness to the onions and balances out the beer.
- Beer - the onions taste delicious fried in beer, but you can skip it if you prefer an alcohol free version
How To Make Sausage Bap With Caramelised Onions
It's super easy to make our tasty Sausage Bap recipe. And it's a really easy recipe to double or triple (or more) to feed a crowd.
- Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F / Gas Mark 4 - I prefer to cook the sausages in the oven because you can do big tray fulls easily and they just take care of themselves. If you prefer you could fry or grill but this requires more hands on time.
- Cook the sausages in the oven - lay them into a roasting tin and cook in the oven for around 30-40 minutes or until cooked through properly. Turn them once during cooking around half way through.
How To Caramelise Onions
- Prep the onions - Slice the onions into half moons
- Fry the onions - Melt the butter in a frying pan over a low heat. Tip in the onions and brown sugar - then turn up the heat and fry for around 3-4 minutes over a high heat, stirring regularly.
- Add the beer - pour in the beer, let it sizzle, then reduce the heat to low and cook the onions for around 40 minutes, really slowly, stirring every 10 minutes or so.
To serve just split open the baps, load on the sausages, top with onions and a dollop of your favourite ketchup or sauce.
INGREDIENT SWAPS AND ADD-INS
Use different Sausages - swap the sausages for chicken, turkey, hot dogs or your favourite plant-based sausages.
