Herb Roll is a special roll that is produced at Acme’s Ferry Plaza location. The rolls are made out of our Rustic Sweet Dough which has freshly chopped rosemary and olive oil added to it, giving it its characteristic Mediterranean flavor. The texture is slightly crispy on the outside with a light and fluffy crumb.

Suggested Uses: The Herb Roll can be used as a dinner roll or eaten as a snack on-the-go. Alternatively, it could be a rustic burger bun that would go well with ground lamb patties, or a turkey sandwich.

The dough for our Herb Mini Rolls is leavened with a long-fermented ‘Poolish’ starter and enriched with extra-virgin olive oil and chopped fresh rosemary. This is the same dough that we make into our Herb Slab, Herb Fougasse, and Herb Focaccia. These rolls are light and airy in texture, fragrant and tender with rosemary and olive oil and slightly larger than a golf ball in size.

Suggested Uses: Our Herb Mini Rolls can be used for sliders, small dinner rolls, and finger sandwiches. You won’t find them in our retail stores on a regular basis, so if you do see them there be sure to buy one or two to try. They can be pre-ordered in advance with a minimum order of 150 pieces.

Our Little Roll is made from a long-fermented, yeast-leavened dough which has a light yeasty flavor. They are a tall, round roll, approximately X” in diameter, with one score across the top, which allows the rolls to expand evenly during baking. Because of its mild flavor the Little Roll pairs well with a variety of dishes. The crumb is light and airy, and the crust is thin, golden and slightly chewy.

Suggested Uses: Little Roll is a popular dinner roll, and can be used to soak up sauces, olive oil and vinegar, or to make small sandwiches with. This is an Acme staff favorite to use for PB&J sandwiches or classic ham and cheese.

Our Levain bread is naturally leavened with a Levain starter and contains approximately 20% Organic whole wheat flour, with the rest of the flour being unbleached Organic wheat flour. Levain Rolls are somewhat irregular-shaped, a little flatter than round, and about x” in diameter. The crust is thinner than the Levain loaves, but fairly chewy. The crumb is airy and moist with nutty and sour notes.

Suggested Uses: Levain is a versatile bread that is well suited for table bread, small sandwiches, grilled bread, fondue, and much more. Many enjoy eating the roll as-is because of the unique whole wheat sourdough flavor.

Our Rustic Roll is a small dinner roll that is made out of our rustic sweet baguette dough. It is an artisan roll that is hand molded, giving it an irregular round shape. The crust is crispy and the crumb is fluffy. Its taste reminds of a fresh rustic sweet baguette.

Suggested Uses: Rustic Roll is an alternative dinner roll that can be used to accompany pasta and seafood dishes. It can also be used as sandwich roll and as table bread.

Our Whole Wheat Rolls are made out of the same dough as our Edible Schoolyard Loaf. Stone-ground Organic and/or locally-sourced Whole Wheat flour makes up 92% of the flour and the remaining 8% is Organic pumpernickel meal. It is naturally leavened using a levain starter and honey is added for texture and a bit of sweetness. Its crumb is dense and moist and the crust is slightly thicker and crispier than the loaf version. The surface is crackled and floured and its shape is rounded. The flavor is very unique it is slightly sour due to the starter that is used, but the honey and pumpernickel add nutty sweetness to the end.

Suggested Uses: The Whole Wheat Roll would make an excellent whole wheat alternative to our regular dinner roll, the Little Roll. It is a popular item to be purchased as a snack, and goes wonderful with salads and cheeses, or for tiny sandwiches.

Our Olive Rolls are the petite version of our famous Olive Bread. Just as the full-sized bread, the roll is made out of naturally leavened sourdough that contains levain starter. Its surface has one score across the top. The crust is chewy and the crumb can be described as slightly airy and moist with Halkidiki green olives scattered throughout. The green olives also give this roll a slightly briney flavor.

Suggested Uses: Olive Rolls are good for any type of small savory sandwich or as an adventurous slider bun. They are also great with cheese and they are moist and tasty enough to eat plain.
