I'm in the west Valley, just in case there is something closer to me..... Super Bowl is just around the corner! Thanks! Sun Jan 04 14:51:26 -0800 2009 44913 CEfromLA 1 4295549 Ralph's bakes suitable buns that they pack on site. In the bag there is a combination of plain, sesame and poppy seed topped. They do the job quite well. Sun Jan 04 15:34:15 -0800 2009 4295450 10240 Bob Brooks 2 4295700 That was going to be my suggestion too. We just had them with sliders New Year's Day. They make then with white and whole wheat flavors. Sun Jan 04 16:36:47 -0800 2009 4295549 17969 rainey 1 4295742 You can also try those King Hawaiian dinner like rolls. They're square rolls.

Tue Jan 06 11:14:37 -0800 2009 4295742 180133 Saddleoflamb 3 4301990 They are PERFECT for sliders..had them last week...the best...make sure you get a spicy mustard. Tue Jan 06 15:37:14 -0800 2009 4301009 13378 yummyinmytummy 1 4296431 trader joe's carries a loaf called sesame pullaparts that make great slider buns. sometimes i carve a slice out of the middle so they aren't too tall. Sun Jan 04 21:07:39 -0800 2009 4295450 13335 chez cherie 1 4296535 I second the King Hawaiian rolls. We make them with thousand island dressing and add a pickle and everyone loves them. I get the rolls from COSTCO.

Otherwise , Kings Hawaiin ......is like an at home yeast roll from Golden Corrall Tue Jan 06 11:29:49 -0800 2009 4300652 180133 Saddleoflamb 4 4301205 I like it; it adds the sweetness of ketchup without having to use ketchup. Tue Jan 06 12:08:17 -0800 2009 4301049 10811 Das Ubergeek 4 4301791 Like you said, on the right burger the sweetness complements the filling. Tue Jan 06 14:44:02 -0800 2009 4301049 91179 ns1 2 4301493 Kings Hawaiian actually makes less sweet savory butter rolls that have the same texture and mostly the same taste. They work great! http://www.kingshawaiian.com/products/products_savorybutter.php I have found them at Vons. Tue Jan 06 13:22:52 -0800 2009 4296535 86752 aklectic 1 4300207 Isn't there anyone (like a bakery) that makes actual slider buns? The rolls would be OK if I can't find anything else, but I think they might be a dough-y. Tue Jan 06 07:27:15 -0800 2009 4295450 44913 CEfromLA 2 4300615 Wholesale bakeries that sell to restaurants, yes. Retail ones, few... Tue Jan 06 09:29:26 -0800 2009 4300207 12141 Adsvino 2 4300627 Well, if you want something with a tougher crust, you could get small dinner rolls from Berolina... Tue Jan 06 09:34:25 -0800 2009 4300207 10811 Das Ubergeek 2 4300963 I think the Melrose Baking Company does 3" buns. I looked into them a while back, then my plans changed, so I've never personally used them. But they probably can provide what you need. Tue Jan 06 10:59:30 -0800 2009 4300207 81098 LisaStitch 3 4301584 3 inches is WAY too big for a slider.... Tue Jan 06 13:46:39 -0800 2009 4300963 12141 Adsvino 4 4301682 "WAY" too big seems like an overstatement. All the sliders I've had at restaurants have been somewhere between 2 and 3 inches. Melrose Baking Co can probably accomodate a smaller size if needed. Tue Jan 06 14:11:39 -0800 2009 4301584 81098 LisaStitch 5 4301772 Who is making 3 inch wide sliders??? That is 66-100% too big. Sliders should be 1.5 to 2 inches wide. Tue Jan 06 14:37:28 -0800 2009 4301682 12141 Adsvino 6 4301915 Oh my goodness you are talking in percentages? :P I don't know that "should" is really appropriate to say ? I can't find a definition of "slider" except in reference to White Castle (which is more in the 3" range). I'm looking at my ruler and 3" seems much more common to me and my slider experience. And I think that's also closer to the size of the King Hawaiian rolls people are talking about above. I have had sliders that were 1.5-2 inches, but most of the ones I've had have been more as 'bar food,' at places like the Arsenal and others I can't quite remember... :) Tue Jan 06 15:18:51 -0800 2009 4301772 81098 LisaStitch 7 4302107 We burger fiends are a scientific lot... Tue Jan 06 16:15:22 -0800 2009 4301915 12141 Adsvino 1 4301511 We use the Oven Joy Dinner Rolls from 99c Store. They're the right size and kinda the same consistency as a hot-dog-bun.
