To enjoy these rolls at their best, you can warm them slightly in an oven or toaster for a few minutes until the crust is crisp and the inside is soft. They can be sliced horizontally to create a base for various sandwich fillings, from simple cured meats and cheeses to more complex combinations with vegetables and spreads. They are also wonderful when torn and used to scoop up hearty stews, rich pasta sauces, or flavorful broths.
