Our Torpedo Roll is about X’ long and made out of Pain de Mie Dough, which is enriched with milk, butter, and sugar, and leavened with both baker’s yeast and a liquid ‘levain’ starter. We make all of our Pain de Mie loaves, as well as our Hot Dog Buns, Soft Round Buns, Baby Buns and Hot Dog Buns from the same dough. The word “mie” is French for “crumb,” which, in this case, means the interior portion of any bread and applies here since the Pain de Mie has such a rich, finely textured crumb and very little in the way of crust. These rolls are tender, fragrant and golden brown, with one score along the top.
Suggested Uses: Use these rolls for a variety of sandwiches. They are much like Mexican “bolillos” and many customers make ‘tortas’ out of them. If slightly toasted, this roll is able to hold more moisture and even juicer meats and vegetables can be used as filling.
