You may add a thin sliver of sharp provolone or mozzarella to each sandwich if you desire. You may make the tuna salad the day prior to assembling the sandwiches to save time.
Italian dinner rolls are a crusty, rustic, chewy white bread made with special 12-hour starter. Slightly sour in taste, it’s hearty enough to hold up to the thickest of sauces.
Italian Tuna Sandwich
Serves 6 to 8
Ingredients:
3 (6-ounce) cans tuna, drained well
1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup jarred roasted red peppers, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
12 split small dinner rolls or 1 large loaf French bread, halved
Combine tuna, onions, peppers, parsley, oregano, oil and vinegar in a large bowl. Top each roll with tuna. (Alternately, spread half of the French bread with tuna, then top with remaining half and cut into thick slices.) Set sandwiches aside at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to mingle.

Cooking Spray
Spray a 13x9 baking dish with cooking spray. Place your frozen rolls in the dish. Sprinkle with Italian Seasoning and Parmesan Cheese. Spray the tops of the rolls, and cover with plastic wrap. Follow the directions on the roll bag for rising. It took mine about 4 hours.
Bake as directed on the package. Brush with butter and sprinkle with more cheese if desired. Enjoy hot!
