Meijer French Sub Roll, 21 oz
What it is
This is a large, soft, and slightly chewy bread roll, typically baked to a golden-brown crust. It is designed to be sliced lengthwise and filled with various ingredients. The texture is airy inside with a delicate exterior, making it a versatile base for many kinds of sandwiches. Its substantial size makes it suitable for hearty meals.
How people cook with it
French sub rolls are a popular choice for creating substantial sandwiches and subs. They are also used in other ways to complement meals.
- Sandwich base
- Bread for dipping
- Garlic bread
- Dinner roll
To prepare a sandwich, slice the roll horizontally, leaving one side attached if desired, or cutting all the way through. Layer your favorite cold cuts, cheeses, vegetables, and condiments inside. For a warm preparation, you can toast the inside surfaces lightly before adding fillings. It can also be brushed with olive oil and garlic, then baked to create a delicious garlic bread, perfect for serving alongside pasta or soups. The soft interior readily absorbs flavors.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a baguette, this roll has a softer crust and a more yielding interior, making it easier to bite into and less likely to overwhelm delicate fillings. It is also typically wider and flatter than a traditional French baguette, providing more surface area for toppings.
Who it is for
Home cooks and sandwich enthusiasts often choose this roll for its satisfying texture and capacity to hold generous fillings.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining roll fresh, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in a resealable plastic bag. Store at room temperature for a few days. For longer storage, it can be frozen, and then thawed at room temperature or gently reheated.
