Density 42 · +2 vs Baked goods median

Hard kaiser rolls score 42 of 100, a Fair rating that ranks 26th of 60 in the Baked goods category. The carbohydrate-led profile still carries useful protein: 100 g provides 20% of the Daily Value for protein and 18% for iron, both solid figures for a bread roll.

These dense, crusty rolls are the standard base for a deli sandwich or burger, sturdy enough to hold fillings without falling apart. An ounce (28 g) is a modest slice of what a whole roll weighs, and the main caveat is sodium: 544 mg per 100 g, so a large sandwich roll can add up quickly for anyone watching salt intake.
