What it is
These are large, round, soft bread rolls. They have a slightly chewy interior and a tender crust. The rolls are designed to hold a generous amount of fillings. They are a popular choice for sandwiches and burgers. The texture is meant to be substantial enough to support various ingredients without falling apart. They are a staple in many delis and casual dining establishments.

To prepare, you can lightly toast the inside surfaces of the roll for added texture and to prevent sogginess from moist fillings. Slice the roll horizontally to create two halves. Fill generously with your chosen ingredients, such as grilled patties, slow-cooked meats, or layered deli slices. The ample surface area allows for a good distribution of toppings like lettuce, tomato, and sauces. They are best served fresh after assembly.
