Filled rolls are a popular catering product that impresses with its versatility and ease of handling. They consist of fresh rolls generously topped with various ingredients and can be adapted to different tastes and dietary requirements.

Ingredients and toppings

Fresh rolls from the in-house baker form the base, and the topping is put together from high-quality, often regional products. The choice includes, among others:

  • meat such as salami, ham and pork medallions
  • fish such as smoked salmon and trout fillet with creamed horseradish
  • vegetarian options with cheese, tomatoes, fruit or tomato-mozzarella with basil
  • unusual variations such as salmon tartare, camembert with kiwi or Parma ham with melon

Different types of bread such as multigrain and baguette rolls broaden the selection. Garnishes such as creamed horseradish, fresh herbs or small vegetable decorations provide the finishing touch.

Uses in catering

Filled rolls are easy to transport and can be eaten without cutlery. They are suitable for business meetings, conferences, standing receptions, cocktail receptions and private celebrations, and combine well with canapés, finger food or a Mediterranean buffet. Customers can specify ingredients and quantities individually and communicate special requests when ordering.

Presentation

An appealing presentation enhances the overall experience. Decorative platters allow for an orderly, easily refillable display, while tiered stands look particularly elegant with their multi-level arrangement. Fresh herbs, small vegetable decorations or edible flowers further enhance the appearance.

Planning and quantity calculation

Careful planning begins with determining requirements based on the number of guests as well as their preferences and dietary needs. A recommended quantity per person helps to avoid shortages and surpluses. The timing of delivery and the replenishment of the buffet should also be planned, so that the rolls are ready fresh and in perfect condition.
