Jul’s Best Aram Sandwiches
These are often marketed as pinwheels or caravan sandwiches; Armenians call them Aram sandwiches. And here in Fresno, we refer to them as Hye Rollers. Made with softened lahvosh bread and your choice of fillings, these spiral sandwiches are a real treat, savory or sweet. A fun family activity is to gather, eat, and vote on our favorites. Serve them up with a notebook and let people rate them on a scale of 1-5. Enable comments for a good laugh. We call this The Hye Roller Challenge, and our top three winners are featured in this post.
