Want to try Australia’s best sausage roll? Well, you can try one (if you haven’t already) at the Whittlesea Bakehouse.
The crowd favourite among customers was named Australia’s best sausage roll at the South Australia Bakery Show on May 25, beating over 60 hopeful entrants.
The family-owned business took home the award in its first time entering the competition, and followed its win of Victoria’s best sausage roll at the Victorian Baking Show in March.
Manager Adrian Caporetto flew over to Adelaide for the awards with his sausage roll and a pasty in a small cooler-bag. His very important assets were the only thing he carried with him on the plane.
The pasty took home third place in its category.
A secret family recipe, Mr Caporetto said the sausage roll hasn’t changed in 18 years, other than a couple of minor tweaks. The savoury favourite is filled with a considerable amount of beef and flavored with carrots, onions, salt and pepper.
He said however the secret to the sausage roll was using good quality ingredients and loving the baking process, while customers praised the perfect meat-to-bread ratio.
Whittlesea Bakehouse now has its eyes on the ‘Triple Crown’: seeing if it can take home Australia’s best pie and pasty awards at the Baking Industry Trade Show in Sydney next month.
Whittlesea Bakehouse opened in 1979 and has continued its operations as a bakery since Mr Caporetto’s mother-in-law purchased the business.
You can try the award-winning sausage roll and other bakery favourites at Whittlesea bakehouse, 34 Church Street, Whittlesea.
