Bread Roll

A bread roll, often simply called a roll, is a small, individual-sized loaf of bread. Bread rolls come in various shapes, sizes, and textures, from soft and fluffy to crusty and dense. Their flavor profiles range from subtly sweet to savory, depending on the flour and other ingredients used. The appearance can vary from a golden-brown, smooth exterior to a rustic, flour-dusted look. They are a versatile staple, perfect for sandwiches, alongside soups, or as an accompaniment to meals.

Storage Tips

Bread rolls are best stored in a cool, dry place at room temperature. To prevent them from drying out, keep them in an airtight container, bread box, or tightly sealed plastic bag. For longer storage, you can freeze bread rolls. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. They can be stored frozen for up to 2-3 months. To thaw, simply remove them from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature or warm them gently in the oven.
