What is pan carrè for tramezzini?
Pan carrè is a soft, square-cut, crustless white bread designed for layered sandwiches. The tramezzino itself was born in Turin in 1925 at Caffè Mulassano, where Angela Demichelis Nebiolo reworked the English tea sandwich into a soft triangular icon; the writer Gabriele D'Annunzio later coined the name tramezzino. This frozen version keeps that same fine, even crumb available year round for high-volume kitchens.
Organoleptic profile
The crumb is fine, compact and uniform, with a neutral, gently sweet flavour from dextrose and a tender bite from the lard in the dough. The absence of crust means clean, straight edges for stacking and cutting, while the soft structure absorbs spreads and fillings without tearing.
Professional uses
- Classic tramezzini: spread, fill with tuna, ham, egg or vegetables, press lightly and cut into triangles.
- Club sandwiches: stack three slices for layered bar and lounge service.
- Canapés and finger food: cut into small shapes for aperitivo and catering platters.
- Oven crostini: toast lightly for warm, structured bases.
- French toast and sweet service: the neutral crumb works for brunch and dessert preparations.
Storage and thawing
Keep the product frozen between minus 10 C and minus 20 C until use. Thaw the sealed loaf at room temperature for about 3 hours before slicing and filling. Once thawed the bread must not be refrozen and should be used within 48 hours, kept refrigerated. Working from frozen lets a kitchen hold a constant reserve and cut waste on a perishable item.
Pairings
Pairs naturally with cured meats, soft cheeses, tuna, mayonnaise-based fillings and fresh vegetables. For a full sandwich and bakery station, combine it with the other frozen and par-baked breads in the LAPA range.
