SANDWICH ROLLS



ROUND BUNS



Our hand-finished Round Bun is leavened with a long-fermented ‘Poolish’ starter and enriched with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil. It is similar to our focaccia dough. The crust has a beautiful golden hue from the olive oil and the texture is light and fluffy. To keep it from bursting in the oven the roll is scored with a two-pronged fork which gives it its characteristic two punctures on top.


Suggested Uses: Our Round Bun is ideal for burgers and sandwiches. It is great when toasted and can withstand lots of toppings.



KAISER ROLLS PLAIN



We make our Kaiser Rolls out of the same olive-oil enriched sweet dough as our Round Buns, hand-knotted (not stamped!) by our bakers into the classic Kaiser Roll form. The texture is slightly chewy and because of the unique swirl pattern that the buns are moulded into you can easily break apart sections of the bun if you wish. We make the Kaiser Rolls plain (as shown here) or with the addition of poppy or sesame seeds baked on top.


Suggested Uses: Kaiser Rolls can be used as burger buns, rolls for sandwiches, and some might even suggest as a substitute for bagels.



KAISER ROLLS WITH SESAME SEEDS

Sesame Seeds can add flavor to an Asian-inspired sandwich or a traditional burger, and poppy seeds pair well with jams, fish, and much more.

The roll is slightly crispy on the outside and airy on the inside. It rises on floured cloths, which leave the surface lightly dusted with flour and slightly crackled giving it a rustic appearance. Its crumb is porous and its taste reminds of the rustic sweet baguette.

WHOLE WHEAT SEEDED DELI ROLLS



Our Whole Wheat Seed Deli Rolls are made out of the same dough as our Whole Wheat Seed Loaf. The dough is made with organic whole wheat flour, Pumpernickel flour and honey, with the addition of poppy, sesame, and sunflower seeds. The deli roll not only has a blend of seeds baked into the rolls, but it is topped with the seeds on the outside of the roll as well, giving it a distinct appearance. The added seeds result in a nutty flavor and crunchy texture.


Suggested Uses: Whole Wheat Seed Deli Rolls are ideal for making sandwiches such as pastrami, roasted vegetables, or even grilled cheese. These rolls are highly recommended for a classic turkey sandwich as well. You can even eat the rolls as they are for a hearty snack.



SOUR DELI ROLLS



The dough for our Sour Deli Roll is first moulded into a thick baguette shape and is then scored into four evenly sized pieces. Once it is baked the individual pieces can be broken apart into individual sandwich rolls, which can be ordered by the piece. The dough has a chewy crust with an open crumb inside and a robust sour flavor. The top surface has a single long score running from one end of the baguette to the other.


Suggested Uses: Sour Deli Rolls are perfect for a hefty sandwich, and will stand up to a juicy piece of meat, a lot of sauce, or even roasted vegetables. “Torta ahogada,” a Mexican specialty sandwich which is drenched in sauce, is just one example of the kind of sandwich that can be made with this bread.



SOUR PETITE (TWINKLE)



Sour Petits are elongated sandwich rolls, tapered on both ends, similar to torpedo rolls. We hand mould them from our naturally-leavened sourdough. They have a chewy crust and an open, irregular crumb. The naturally fermented dough gives these buns the tangy fruitiness characteristic of our sourdough breads.


Suggested Uses: Sour Petit are ideal for any kind of sandwich. It can also be used as a roll for table bread.



RUSTIC DELI ROLL



Rustic Deli Roll is produced only at our Ferry Plaza retail location. It is made out of rustic sweet dough, moulded into a baguette shape, and then scored into four equal pieces prior to baking. The Rustic Deli Roll is soft, fluffy, chewy.


Suggested Uses: Our Rustic Deli Rolls are sandwich rolls can be used for sandwiches, picnics and brunch.



SWEET PETITE



Sweet Petite is a torpedo shaped bun with one score running from nearly one tip to the other. It is made out of our Rustic Sweet Baguette dough, which is leavened with a long-fermented baker’s yeast-based starter. The crust is thin and crackly, the interior is open and irregular and its taste is subtly sweet and yeasty.


Suggested Uses: Sweet Petit are great for any kind of sandwich. Their mild flavor makes them combine well with many flavors. These rolls will stand up a little better to moist and heavier fillings than will the similar-shaped Torpedo rolls.
