Wenner Jumbo Kaiser Rolls bring authentic European bakery tradition to your table with their distinctive crusty exterior and soft, airy interior. These classic Austrian-style rolls are instantly recognizable by their signature star-shaped pattern on top, created by traditional folding techniques that have been perfected over generations. As jumbo-sized rolls, they offer generous portions perfect for hearty sandwiches, burgers, or simply enjoying fresh from the bakery section.
Kaiser rolls hold a special place in Austrian and German cuisine, where they're commonly served at breakfast with butter and jam or used as the foundation for substantial deli sandwiches. The name "Kaiser" means "emperor" in German, reflecting the roll's regal status in European bread culture. Their sturdy structure makes them ideal for loaded sandwiches that won't fall apart, while their mild, slightly tangy flavor complements both savory and sweet fillings. These jumbo versions are particularly popular for creating restaurant-style burgers, pulled pork sandwiches, or classic pastrami on rye alternatives.
For best results, slice these Kaiser rolls horizontally and lightly toast the cut sides to enhance their texture and prevent soggy sandwiches. They pair beautifully with traditional deli meats, aged cheeses, and pickled vegetables, or can be hollowed out to create edible bowls for hearty soups and stews. Store at room temperature for immediate use, or freeze for longer storage while maintaining their authentic taste and texture when thawed and warmed.
