Instructions

Cut the crusts off of each slice of bread and roll out as thin as possible with a rolling pin.

Place the long side of the rolled out bread closest to you.

Spread a thin layer of spread on each slice of rolled out bread.

Add fillings onto half of the bread lengthwise making sure not to over stuff the roll (a little goes a long way)

Starting at the side closest to you (the filled end) tightly roll the mixture up and press to seal into a roll (I dab a bit of additional spread across the end of the roll to act as a glue sealing the roll).

Cut the roll into even pieces and repeat with remaining pieces of bread and fillings of choice.

*If making tuna salad: Place the tuna, capers, mayonnaise and dijon mustard in a bowl and stir to combine.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bread Selection & Prep 🍞
Use soft, thin-crusted bread like white sandwich bread or brioche, and gently flatten each slice with a rolling pin to make rolling easier and prevent cracking.
Strategic Spread Application 🧈
Apply spreads (mayo and mustard) in thin, even layers to the bread edges to act as an adhesive that helps keep the roll intact and prevents filling from sliding out.
Vegetable Prep for Texture 🥒
Cut carrots and cucumbers into thin, uniform julienne sticks rather than thick pieces—they'll roll easier, look more appetizing, and be safer for little hands to manage.
Filling Temperature Control ❄️
Use chilled fillings (especially tuna salad) and keep ingredients cold before assembly to prevent the bread from becoming soggy and to help the roll hold its shape when sliced.
The Perfect Cut Technique ✂️
Use a sharp, serrated knife and cut with a gentle sawing motion at a slight angle to create diagonal 1-1.5 inch pieces that resemble actual sushi rolls and stay intact.
