Thes buns are quite nice and remind me a bit of whole grain bread. I topped my sandwich with some thousand island dressing, lettuce, salami, Swiss Cheese and a very thinly sliced grape tomato. While I was enjoying my sandwich, I got the idea to add a few caraway seeds to my next batch of buns, then make either a pastrami or corned beef sandwich with Swiss cheese, thousand island and some coleslaw. Here's a picture of my sandwich:

NOTE: The bun in the above photo was made using golden flax meal instead of regular. That's why it has a lighter look to it. For information about muffin top pans, click here
