Private Selection Cracked Wheat Extra Large Sandwich Buns
What it is
These are large, round sandwich buns made with cracked wheat. The cracked wheat adds a slightly rustic texture and a subtle nutty flavor to the bread. They are designed to hold generous fillings, making them suitable for substantial sandwiches. The buns have a soft interior and a slightly chewy crust, providing a satisfying base for a variety of meal preparations.
How people cook with it
These buns are a versatile choice for creating hearty sandwiches and other baked dishes. They offer a good foundation for both hot and cold meal ideas.
- Hearty sandwiches
- Pulled pork sliders
- Breakfast sandwiches
- Bread pudding base
To prepare, you can lightly toast the buns for added warmth and a crispier exterior. They are excellent for grilling or baking, especially when serving hot sandwiches like cheesesteaks or meatball subs. For a quick meal, simply split them open and add your favorite cold cuts, spreads, and toppings. They can also be cubed and used as a base for savory bread puddings or stuffing, absorbing flavors beautifully during the cooking process.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard white sandwich buns, these cracked wheat buns offer a more complex texture due to the visible pieces of cracked wheat. The flavor profile is also distinct, with a mild earthiness that complements savory fillings better than a plain white bun might.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any remaining buns in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, tightly wrap them in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent them from drying out. They can also be frozen for extended preservation.
