Why do my sausage rolls have soggy bottoms?

The trays need to be cold when you place the uncooked pastry rolls on them so that they cook evenly in the oven and get a crispy base. Using hot trays will begin to soften and 'melt' the pastry before they're added to the oven - which will lead to soggy pastry.

How do you keep pastry crisp overnight?

Place fresh pastries inside a paper bag to help retain the quality of the crust. Keep the pastries at room temperature to prevent condensation so that they don't soften. Seal the paper bag inside a plastic storage bag for extended storage of up to about five days.

Can you leave a baked pie crust out overnight?
