Dutch crunch roll recipe1/23/2024 ![]() ![]() My recipe isn’t a traditional Dutch crunch roll, because it’s more important to me to have a soft sandwich roll and then add Dutch crunch to that. That coating takes on a fun patterned crackle on the top of the bread that adds texture and flavor to the roll. The exterior crunch is formed by a thin glue-like batter made from rice flour, yeast, oil, and sugar. Here’s the link again to Kitchn’s Homemade Mozzarella recipe if you really want to give it a shot.ĭutch crunch, sometimes called tiger bread, is a San Francisco sandwich shop staple. BUY OR MAKE?ĭON’T MAKE THIS: making your own mozzarella is fun for a science experiment and it does taste good, but it costs more and takes A LOT longer than just buying it. But if you think there’s a chance that you might only make 2 or 3 batches (like me) then it will be much cheaper to just buy store-bought mozzarella. Since the recipe requires a whole gallon of milk, you could see some financial savings if you made a lot of batches of mozzarella. The fact that you must buy citric acid and liquid rennet makes this component of the sandwich a bit more challenging than everything else. I am glad I have learned how to make mozzarella, but I don’t know if I ever really want to become an expert in the process. It’s a good final product, but is it worth it to make your own? You can skip the marinade and just hit each piece of chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper if you really need to sandwich quickly. This one does have a marinade so it will take you longer than 20 minutes, but if you want to try it yourself it’s a good, simple recipe. Here’s a quick recipe for grilled chicken thighs. ![]() Also: go the rotisserie chicken route if you want to save money. BUY OR MAKE?īOTH ARE GOOD OPTIONS: I like the flavor and spicing options you get when you grill your own chicken, but it’s hard to argue with a cooked chicken that costs less than raw. I’m pretty sure you can’t get the equivalent raw chicken parts anywhere near as cheap as buying a rotisserie chicken. How long does it take to get to the store? How much does your time cost?Ĭhicken is expensive at the moment, but these rotisserie chickens seem to be immune to big price changes caused by inflation. You can season your chicken, get it on a pan, grill, or griddle, and have it cooked in around 15 to 20 minutes. But if price or speed to the table is a requirement for you, the rotisserie option can be a good one. Swapping grilled, whole chicken parts for rotisserie chicken meat isn’t really a 1 for 1, equal swap. When you cook the chicken yourself, you obviously have full control over the seasoning and flavor and when you buy a rotisserie chicken, you get what you get (which is still usually tasty in my experience). If you just season the chicken with salt and pepper and your favorite dried spices (meaning: no marinade time) you can get the meat all cooked up and ready to sandwich in 15 minutes or so. For these sandwiches, I grilled some of the chicken outside on my gas grill and I cooked the last two thighs inside on a grill pan right before eating them. Read on!

Let’s talk about each of the five components and decide if I think it’s worth it to make the component or add it to your next shopping list. You can buy the pesto sauce, mozzarella, and roasted red peppers and you could even substitute the grilled chicken for hunks of grocery store rotisserie chicken for a super quick sandwich. I didn’t put them into one sandwich where they were all combined, but today I’m pulling them all together for this very tasty sandwich. If you’ve been following my blog long enough and you have a great memory, you might know that I have shared individual recipes for all these components throughout the last year and a half. Sometimes sandwiches are better squished in the hand. Here’s a chicken pesto sandwich in a Dutch crunch roll. ![]()
