I first had rolls like this when I was visiting Caribbean islands. I was a travel agent and made many visits on 'fam' trips and always looked forward to the crusty, spherical rolls. They were usually white but at times whole wheat. Always delicious!!! :-)
When I lived outside of Boston, we could buy larger rolls, looked like kaisers but were very crusty and sold as Bulky Rolls. I used them to make submarine-type sandwiches. Here in NC they only seem to have one type of bread and rolls - soft, soft, softer. I will have to try this recipe, forming them as Bulkies.
