FAQ BREAD ROLLS with Russian Salad and SALMON
Can I prepare the bread rolls with Russian salad the day before?
Absolutely yes, store them in the fridge well covered.
Can I replace the salmon?
Sure, tuna or cooked ham works just fine.
What kind of Russian salad should I use?
Ready-made, high-quality Russian salad is perfectly fine.
How do I substitute the bread?
You can use puff pastry or shortcrust pastry, but you need to consider that they require baking, which is not suitable here, so you need to bake the empty rolls first and then fill them.
