Cobs Bakery 100% Whole Wheat Kaiser Buns
What it is
These are round, crusty buns made entirely from whole wheat flour. They have a distinctive cross-shaped score on top, characteristic of a kaiser roll. The texture is typically firm on the outside with a soft, chewy interior. Whole wheat flour provides a heartier flavor and denser crumb compared to white flour. These buns are a good choice for those seeking a more substantial bread option.
How people cook with it
Kaiser buns are versatile and can be used for a variety of meals. They hold up well to different fillings and sauces.

To enhance their texture, you can lightly toast these buns before serving. Slice them horizontally and place them under a broiler for a minute or two until golden brown. This creates a delightful crispness that complements the soft interior. They are excellent for building hearty sandwiches, whether filled with deli meats, grilled vegetables, or a juicy burger patty. For a quick breakfast, they can be warmed and filled with eggs and cheese.
