A crusty roll is a small individual bread with a crisp, crackling crust and a tender, airy crumb. Made from a lean yeasted dough, it bakes up chewy inside with a well-browned crust, and works well for sandwiches and dipping into soups and stews. Sold plain, seeded, or flour-dusted, and shaped as kaiser, French, or Italian-style rolls.

Rooted in Central and Western European bakery traditions—Austrian Semmel and Kaiser rolls, German Brötchen, French petits pains, and Italian rosette—it spread worldwide through immigrant bakeries and modern artisan shops. Bakers typically use lean doughs and steam during baking to develop the signature crust.
