Recipe Box, Hassleback Rolls, 3 Ways
You’ve heard of hassleback potatoes, you know, potatoes that are thinly sliced not quite all the way through and baked with lots of butter and sometimes cheese and other toppings
Well, why not hassleback rolls!
I like pretzel rolls, but they are heavy and dense so I decided to create some Hassleback rolls
Cut them in thin slices all the way to the bottom, stopping just short of cutting all the way through
I made 3 versions, Butter & Salt, Italian Pesto, and Chicken Salad
Butter & Salt has butter between the slices and is topped with a generous sprinkling of Sea Salt
The Italian Pesto is spread with pesto sauce and filled with ham, salami and Fontina cheese
Now, you know this is going to be good~
Bake the rolls for 10-15 minutes at 350. Bake the roll for the chicken salad plain and fill after baking
The Butter & Salt roll could be changed up with garlic seasoning, Parmesan, sesame seeds, Everything Seasoning, fresh herbs such as rosemary or chives~
The slices get a little toasty on the edges and the roll still remains soft down deep inside so you get the best of both worlds~
Filled with chicken salad, this toasted Chicken Salad Hassleback Roll is pretty hard to resist
A different presentation can amp up the simplest dish
Hot out of the oven, the Italian Pesto just winks at you and says, you know you want a bite!

I used Pretzel Rolls from Costco, but obviously you could adapt these recipes to any style hard roll.

Oh your Italian pesto version is calling my name this morning Jenna! What a great way to serve up a little sandwich for a picnic or lunch! I wish I had a Costco nearby for LOTS of things, the closest one is an hour drive and well off my beaten path.
I’m not familiar with the term hasselback, but I sure like the way those rolls look, especially the chicken salad. BTW, do you ever get it at Costco? It’s quite good and easily doctored up.
Thanks Lulu, I have bought it at Costco and it is good!
Love the pretzel roll idea into a sandwich! Your variations sound and look delicious! ~Karen
