For warming your Dutch Crunch Roll

Everyone’s oven is different, yours may take a little more or a little less. Remember, you can always toast it more, but there’s no un-toast setting on your oven!

Pulled Pork

If you want to go big and smoke your own, look no further than the legend himself, Aaron Franklin. If you don’t have half a day to spare — store-bought is still great! My favorite is the Kirkland brand pulled pork, super smoky and delicious.

Coleslaw
  • When it comes to homemade coleslaw, I think Bon Appetit sets the gold standard. Like it creamier? Add some more mayo. Less creamy? Use less!
  • If you’re on a store-bought schedule, you can’t go wrong with Whole Foods’ coleslaw from the deli.
Pickles/BBQ Sauce

There are countless options out there for pickles and BBQ sauce, use your favorites! I like a BBQ sauce with a little heat, like Kinder’s Hot BBQ, and some punchy vinegar forward pickles like Grillo’s to balance the richness of the pork.

  2. Toss an unsliced roll in the oven for 2-ish minutes.
  3. Let roll cool for 5-ish minutes to get that signature crispy top.

Thoughts on Pork Butt
  1. Look, I’m not going to pretend to know how to smoke the perfect pork butt, and everyone’s BBQ tastes are different. So instead of waxing poetic about my favorite pulled pork sando, I’m going to throw out some resources to let you discover what your perfect is. And remember, we’re making sandwiches here. If store-bought is good enough for Ina Garten, it’s good enough for us.

The Build

Put It All Together

  1. Slice your roll in half along the equator. You should see a little “lip” of topping on the side. Start your slice right above that.
  2. Spread your BBQ on both sides of the roll. If you want it extra saucy, mix some with your pork in a bowl before adding it to your sando!
  3. Toss on your pickles, a lot or a little, there are no wrong answers here.
  4. Lay down pulled pork.
  5. Add your coleslaw on top.
  6. Add your toasty top half and enjoy!
TIP

For extra credit, wrap your sando to let all the ingredients get to know each other and keep them all in place.
