Can I toast the rolls?
Yes. Slice them, toast cut-sides under the broiler for 1–2 minutes, then butter while still warm. The butter melts into the bread.

FAQ · Things people ask
About this recipe.
What if my rolls are a day old?
Wrap them in a damp towel and microwave for 15 seconds to refresh, or toast them. Stale rolls turn leathery without moisture or heat.
Can I make these ahead?
Assemble without tomato or lettuce up to 2 hours ahead, wrapped in parchment. Add fresh produce just before serving to avoid sogginess.
