Turks Brood
A wide, sesame-topped Dutch flatbread, split for döner with garlic sauce and sambal or pressed cold with hummus and cucumber, best eaten the day it is baked.
Brood & Saus
Pumpernickel
Thin black Westphalian rye, buttered edge to edge and topped once with herring, smoked salmon or sharp aged cheese. The Dutch word pompernikkel was a stage oath before it was a snack.
Ciabatta
A long, flat Italian loaf split for carpaccio, mozzarella or brie: the crackling, open-crumbed carrier that sits above the soft white roll on the Dutch lunch card.
