T

he great delicatessens of America immediately call to mind a gourmet’s paradise,

a sensational collage of hanging cured meats, marinated fresh cheese, jarred and

pickled vegetables, and, of course, row upon row of golden rolls, buns, and loaves

waiting to be sliced and stuff ed to create the ultimate meal. Brought to the states

by Ashkenazi Jews in the 19th century, the deli quickly became synonymous with

the portable, aff ordable sandwich, a triumph of both fi lling and

bread. Soon, these deli breads were working their way

into other American culinary traditions, serving as

the tender base for the hot dogs and burgers of

the block party and backyard barbecue.

These tasty bookends to your burgers,

hot dogs, and more deserve the baking

spotlight. We’re bringing you four classic

deli bread recipes—Pretzel Buns, Hot Dog

Buns, brioche buns, and potato bread—to

incorporate into your home baking repertoire.

Each comes with a tutorial on shaping and

baking and how to pair each one with your

ideal fi lling. It’s time to bring

the deli home.
