Heat-and-Serve Portuguese Rolls

Trader Joe's Pão D' ÁGua Portuguese Rolls are Ready in 10 Minutes

Every big dinner needs a bowl of fresh bread, and Trader Joe's new Pão D' Água Portuguese Rolls are the perfect addition.

Trader Joe’s new Pão D’Água Rolls are made for the grocery store brand by a Portuguese baker who specializes in frozen heat-and-serve goods. The new rolls are based on a classic Portuguese recipe, which is known for its uncomplicated ingredient list. Each package of these simple Portuguese rolls comes with eight fist-sized rolls that go from frozen to delightfully chewy in just 10 minutes. As Trader Joe's explains, "Equally excellent for holiday feasts and everyday dining, Trader Joe’s Pão D’Àgua Rolls make an able addition to almost any meal."

Whether you enjoy them with a pat of butter or turn them into tiny sandwiches, these rolls are a must for the holiday season.
