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.
Notes
- For the Bread: You'll want to use fresh, soft sandwich bread to make this recipe. Using dried out bread can lead to cracks and breaks making it difficult to roll your sandwich up.
- Don't overfill: Be careful not to overfill the sandwiches to ensure easy rolling.
- Get Kids Involved: Let your kids help with rolling out the bread and assembling the "sushi." They'll love being part of the process.
- Layer Mindfully: Use the thicker or stickier filling first and then top with the thinner filling. It's easier to layer this way!
- Filling and Spread Combination Ideas:
- peanut butter + jelly
- whipped cream cheese + basil pesto (or hemp seed pesto for a nut-free version)
- shredded carrots + red beet, white bean hummus
- whipped cream cheese + olive tapenade
- tuna salad (recipe below) + mayo
- cucumber + cream cheese
- turkey slices, cheese + mayo and mustard
