Ingredients for Rollitos de Pan de Molde

This recipe makes 5 servings.

• 2 slices crustless sandwich bread
• 40 g cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped chives
• 6 slices salami
• 2 slices crustless sandwich bread
• Half an avocado
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 60 g smoked salmon
• 2 slices crustless sandwich bread
• 70 g canned tuna
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 pickle
• 4 piquillo peppers

How to Make Rollitos de Pan de Molde Step by Step

1. Flatten the Bread

Place 2 slices of crustless sandwich bread slightly overlapping on a clean surface. Using a rolling pin, roll them out until they form a single larger layer. Repeat this process for the remaining fillings.

2. Make the Cream Cheese and Chive Filling

Start with the salami rolls. In a bowl, mix 40 g cream cheese with 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives. Spread this mixture over the flattened bread.

3. Fill with Salami and Roll

Place 4 slices of salami over the cream cheese and roll the bread up into a log. Set the first roll aside.

4. Prepare the Avocado Filling

For the salmon rolls, flatten 2 more slices of sandwich bread and prepare the filling. Cut half an avocado and place it in a bowl with 1 pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Mash the mixture with a fork until you get a paste.

5. Fill with Smoked Salmon and Roll

Spread the avocado paste over the bread and cover it with 40 g smoked salmon. Roll up the filled bread and set it aside.

6. Prepare the Tuna and Pickle Filling

For the tuna and piquillo pepper rolls, flatten 2 more slices of sandwich bread with the rolling pin. Make the filling by combining 70 g drained canned tuna, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, and 1 pickle chopped into small pieces in a bowl.

7. Fill with Piquillo Peppers and Roll

Spread this mixture over the bread and place 3 drained, opened, seedless piquillo peppers on top. Roll up the bread and set it aside.

8. Cut the Rolls

Cut each filled bread roll into portions of similar size.

9. Decorate the Rolls

Now decorate the rolls. For the salami rolls, cut 2 slices of salami into small pieces and use them to garnish the top of the rolls, securing them with a toothpick. For the salmon rolls, use about 20 g smoked salmon to decorate, securing it with a toothpick on top. For the piquillo rolls, cut 1 piquillo pepper into strips and use them to decorate the top of the rolls, also secured with a toothpick. You can add small pickle slices for an extra touch of color.

10. Serve or Chill

Serve the rollitos de pan de molde as an appetizer on a tray. They can be prepared ahead of time and kept in the fridge for a few hours before serving.

Tips for the Best Rollitos de Pan de Molde

Choose the Right Bread

Special bread made for filling is convenient if you can find it, but two slices of regular crustless sandwich bread overlapped and rolled thin works just as well. The rolling pin is key: it presses the slices into one seamless sheet that holds the filling without tearing.

Mix and Match Your Fillings

Use whatever you have in the pantry or fridge. The ideal formula is a creamy base spread over the whole surface, combined with a sliced ingredient for texture. This recipe uses three colorful combinations, but you can swap in your own favorites.

Make Them Ahead

These rolls can be assembled in advance and stored in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. Just keep them covered so the bread does not dry out, and add the decorative toppings close to serving time for the freshest look.

30 Go-To Recipes I Keep Coming Back to in My Own Kitchen

Like a lot of home cooks, I like having a rotation that covers cozy classics, dishes from around the world, and sweets that make everyone happy.

Some nights I want something luxuriously rich, and that's when I reach for this La Viña Molten Cheesecake recipe, this refined Original French Crème Brûlée recipe, or a truly indulgent Chocolate Mousse Cake recipe. And on days when I'm after something fruity and soothing, this timeless French Tarte Tatin recipe is my reliable pick.

For mornings that call for something easy and for lighter plates, I'll whip up these airy Oatmeal and Banana Pancakes recipe, a hearty Stuffed Sweet Potato recipe, or these bright Eggs Stuffed with Avocado and Salmon recipe. And whenever I need a gluten-free staple for the pantry, this straightforward Gluten-Free Rice Flour recipe does the job.

When tapas and Mediterranean cooking are calling, I tend to cycle through this punchy Basque Tuna with Tomato recipe, crispy Patatas Bravas Air Fryer recipe, silky Tirokafteri Greek Dip Sauce recipe, and a cool Burrata Salad with Tomato and Pesto recipe. This crisp Italian Vitello Tonnato recipe is another one I love to serve when the occasion feels a bit more special.

Hearty midday meals and comforting suppers? These are the ones I'm always recommending: this warming Meatballs in Spanish Sauce recipe, traditional Meatballs in Almond Sauce recipe, deeply savory Italian Bolognese Sauce recipe, and velvety Chicken Croquettes in Thermomix recipe. When I'm after something more substantial, I'll bake up this Greek Pastitsio Pie recipe, rustic Potatoes and Squid Stew recipe, or the deeply comforting French Boeuf Bourguignon recipe.

Street-food cravings and party spreads usually lead me to this juicy Homemade Chicken Doner Kebab recipe, crispy Salchipapas recipe, punchy Mexican Pork Carnitas recipe, or these crackly Korean Hobak Jeon recipe. These effortless Air Fryer Zucchini Rings recipe are another favorite of mine for a quick appetizer or snack.

And when I'm hosting and putting together drinks alongside a full menu, I'll often serve dinner with this refreshing Original Cuban Mojito recipe, this potent Long Island Iced Tea recipe, or a pitcher of this fruity Bleeding Spanish Sangria recipe. To bring the whole table together, I like setting out this zesty French Remoulade Sauce recipe on the side, or finishing things off with this eye-catching Mediterranean Black Rice with Squid recipe.

Even More Tasty Recipes to Cook for Your Family

After years of cooking, testing, and tweaking in my own kitchen, I've come to believe the greatest dishes boil down to three things: straightforward methods, techniques you can trust, and serious flavor.

Every recipe gathered here is one I genuinely cook over and over—whether it's a fast meal just for me or something a little more celebratory for friends and family.

On the sweet side, the rich, silky Orange Chocolate Mousse Recipe is a go-to when I want something that feels fancy yet comes together without fuss. Another dessert I adore is the caramelized Trdelnik Slavic Pastry Recipe, modeled on the well-known Central European chimney cake. If baking is your thing, knowing how to make syrup for better dessert texture helps a lot, and my Inverted Sugar Recipe walks through exactly how I do it at home.

When something light and uncomplicated is what I'm after, I'll usually make the classic Italian Caprese Salad Recipe or a flawlessly cooked Simple Poached Egg Recipe. For cozier, more filling meals, I frequently point people to the satisfying Meatball Sandwich Recipe, the creamy Russian Stroganoff Beef Recipe, and the fast weeknight winner One Pot Pasta Recipe.

I'm also a big fan of sharing dishes with roots in other countries, such as the authentic Sorropotún de Bonito Fish Stew Recipe, crispy Chilean Pumpkin Sopaipillas Recipe, and the traditional Spanish Cochifrito Segovian Fried Pig Recipe.

Air fryer cooking is another category I turn to often, since it cuts down on time without sacrificing texture. The ones I make most include Air Fryer Pork Ribs Recipe, Air Fryer Chicken Thighs Recipe, Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes Recipe, Air Fryer Baked Potatoes Recipe, Air Fryer Peppers Recipe, Air Fryer Mixed Sandwich Recipe, Air Fryer Toasted Bread Recipe, and Air Fryer Hard-Boiled Eggs Recipe.

And for those steering clear of wheat, my cozy Gluten-Free Lasagna Recipe shows that a classic baked pasta can still be rich, cheesy, and deeply satisfying without any gluten.
