How do you butter a roll?

Method 1: The Classic

1. Slice the roll: Cut the roll in half lengthwise.

2. Soften the butter: Let the butter sit out at room temperature for a few minutes to soften it.

3. Spread the butter: Use a butter knife to spread a thin layer of softened butter on the cut side of each half of the roll.

4. Assemble: If desired, you can place a thin slice of cheese or other fillings on top of the buttered bottom half of the roll before putting the top back on.

Method 2: The Quick & Easy

1. Warm the roll: This method is best for soft rolls. If your roll is cold, you can warm it up slightly in the microwave or toaster oven.

2. Rub the butter: Use a piece of butter (either softened or cold) and gently rub it over the surface of the roll.

Tips:

* Butter temperature: Using softened butter will make it easier to spread evenly. However, if you prefer a thicker layer, you can use cold butter.

* Quantity: The amount of butter is up to you. For a light flavor, use a thin layer. For a richer taste, use a thicker layer.

* Butter types: Use unsalted butter for the best flavor control. You can also use flavored butters, like garlic butter or herb butter.

Enjoy your buttered roll!
