(Heel Bread) Pizza Roll Up’s

We were with a family member, on vacation, and the person ASKED for the heel, from the loaf of bread, for his toast. You should have seen our youngest sons eyes………..  

People actually want the heel?

If your house is like ours, the first thing that happens with a loaf of bread is………… lay the heel piece down, any maybe the next piece or two as it has the potential for extra crust, and dig around for the right crust to inner bread ratio. 

The process continues until you are left with:

Over the years, there have been many attempts to camouflage it ~

Turn the heel around, so that it didn’t appear to be a heel, and made a grill cheese so that the cheese would stick to it and they wouldn’t see it, or risk losing their cheese in the process of pulling it apart.

Another sneaky creative method was to, again turn it around, and add a condiment to that side when making a sandwich.

Want to take that piece of bread off……you will be left with a dry sandwich there mister!

4. Add olive oil to a skillet over medium to medium high heat.

   
5. Cook, and turn, until each side is brown.
