As a foodservice professional in a high-volume kitchen—whether it’s a K-12 school cafeteria, higher-education or hospital dining service, in-store bakery, retail setting or another culinary environment—you know it is critical to keep your menu fresh while achieving your weekly and quarterly food cost targets. Reassessing your ingredient lineup now and then isn’t just smart—it’s essential to running an efficient operation, keeping your staff set up for success and delivering dependable, satisfying meals to your customers every single day.
If your current bread supplier isn’t cutting it—or you’re just ready to upgrade — add Breadtown Bakery, a new line of American-style breads from C.H. Guenther, to your ordering sheet. These convenient baked and ready-to-eat breads and rolls are built for busy kitchens and foodservice operations, offering consistent quality, reliable performance, and a delicious, artisan taste your customers will love.
From burger buns and hoagie rolls to pullman loaves and dinner rolls, these high-value options are easy to finish in an oven, toaster or grill, so you can deliver that just-baked aroma and texture on demand, without adding prep time or waste.
A highlight from Breadtown Bakery are our versatile hoagie rolls. If your operation prioritizes multi-use ingredients, you’ll love how many ways these can work for you. Available in three variations (12-inch Wheat, 12-inch Traditional, and 8-inch Traditional), these delicious rolls are useful for everything, from egg-and-cheese sandwiches at breakfast to deli-style subs at lunch to hot, and savory set-ups for dinner.
Here are three menu-friendly recipes that use Breadtown’s hoagie rolls, perfect for an LTO special, or a seasonal addition to your offerings:
Capture the essence of a sizzling summer grill with these classic Italian hoagies. The expertly crafted texture of Breadtown’s hoagie rolls are the ideal balance of sturdy and soft, so that they can stand up to hearty fillings like sausage, sauteed vegetables and melted provolone cheese. The option to substitute a plant-based sausage makes this an appealing choice for vegetarian diners.
These on-trend Vietnamese hoagies are fresh and inviting, with tender pork marinated in an umami-rich blend of soy sauce, honey, fish sauce, garlic and pepper, and topped with quick pickled carrots and radishes. The báhn mi are finished off with crunchy cucumbers, cilantro sprigs and a swipe of housemade spicy mayo. The neutral flavor of the hoagie roll lets all the layers of flavors shine through. Báhn mi are a great way to introduce global flavors to your menu’s offerings in an accessible, approachable way.
There’s nostalgia and comfort aplenty in a French Dip sandwich. A staple of classic delis and diners, this juicy, beefy favorite is sure to be a top-seller. Using C.H. Guenther’s Pioneer Au Jus Gravy Mix makes the pick-up on this dish even more efficient for your kitchen team. While French Dips are sometimes served on baguette, Breadtown Bakery hoagie rolls are an excellent substitute. Our recipe also swaps in flank steak for roast beef, for a high-impact, appetizing dish.
