The Story

The origins of the buttered roll, or as we call it hamburger rolls or dinner rolls, are cloaked in mystery, or perhaps mere lack of curiosity. The first such rolls would have arrived in New York in the 1870s, along with Louis Fleischmann’s Vienna Model Bakery, which brought commercial yeasted bread to the city.
