Tom,

Do you have any experience with the “Jimmy John’s” sub shop rolls? They started in the Charleston/Champaign-Urbana area 20+ years back but have expanded into the Chicago and other metro areas. I’m interested in replicating something similar to their sub bun they use.

They’ve come 2 central Fla recently - I reckon its just a french bread roll/baguette - the rolls I get from Sam’s & bake have a similar chewy consistency b4 I toast them in the MM 360

I’ll try the SAMS again but I remember them more “bready” than what JJ’s is using. I’m looking for a roll that is not too high on the crown “top”, with taste leaning to sweet. The JJohn’s buns give a nice thin crust that has a slight chew, but not with a big mouthfull of bread in the process. The crumb seems slight compared to other sub rolls I’ve tried.

I’d like to find a “perfect” roll option for when I get opened. I think I could position my sandwich offerings into a very nice lunch business!!

Have you tried Amoroso rolls? these should be available frozen from your main purveyor and seem to fit what you are looking for. http://amorosobaking.com/

Thanks Paul, our local Sysco distributes them…I’ll get a sample. Hoping to find something I can make and bake fresh in house…smells sells.
