Notes

I have used whole wheat bread, you can use any soft bread.Try to avoid bread with seeds,grains etc as its difficult to mold. You don't have to cut the sides of the bread, though it does make it easier to shape without any hard edges. The sides of the bread can be saved in a ziploc bag and used for making tikkis,bread upma,crotons or crumbs.You can use full slices of bread instead of cutting in half, just use double the filling and it will make bigger rolls.
