Who are these options for?

Camper without baking facilities

You want to be able to eat as soon as you arrive or while you’re on the road. An individual fresh roll doesn’t need an oven or air fryer, and you only take what you’ll need in the short term.

Camper with an oven or air fryer

You’re planning several breakfasts or lunches and can store and bake the rolls as instructed. Before buying, check which equipment the pack requires.

Shopper who checks the label

Alongside your budget, you want to compare the type of bread, fibre per 100 g, ingredients and allergen information. For multigrain rolls, the name alone doesn’t tell you how much wholemeal flour they contain.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether you want to eat the rolls straight away or bake them at the campsite. For frozen rolls, you’ll also need to be able to maintain the stated storage temperature.

What to consider What should you check? Who is this important for?
Budget and quantity The number of rolls in a pack and how many you’re likely to eat during your stay. I want to keep my camping food shop within budget without having rolls left over. This is the main priority for around 42% of consumers.
Storage and preparation The storage instructions and whether you can use the specified oven, air fryer or freezer. I want to take rolls for several meals, but my equipment and storage space need to be suitable. This is the main priority for around 33% of consumers.
Type of bread and label The ingredients, fibre per 100 g, and any information about iodised salt and allergens. I want to know what type of bread I’m taking and what the label says it contains. This information matters most to around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Taking part-baked bread without somewhere to bake it

    Part-baked rolls need to be prepared according to the instructions on the pack. For example, PLUS’s white part-baked rolls need 8–10 minutes in an oven at 220 °C or 4 minutes in an air fryer at 200 °C.

    Check the cooking instructions for the product you’ve chosen before packing it. If you can’t bake, choose rolls that are ready to eat.

  • Treating frozen rolls like regular cupboard staples

    Jumbo’s frozen rolls must be stored at −18 °C. For its white variety, Jumbo also says they must be prepared and eaten within 24 hours of defrosting.

    Only choose frozen rolls if you can follow the storage instructions during travel and your stay. Check the pack for guidance on what to do after defrosting for your chosen variety.

  • Assuming every roll contains bakers’ salt

    According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, there is no requirement to bake bread with bakers’ salt. So the type of bread or where you buy it won’t tell you whether a particular roll contains iodised salt.

    Check the ingredients list if this information is important to your choice.

  • Assuming multigrain means wholemeal

    ‘Multigrain’ doesn’t, by itself, tell you how much wholemeal flour or fibre a roll contains. The ingredients vary from product to product.

    Check the ingredients and compare the fibre per 100 g listed for the products you’re considering.

Frequently asked questions

Which rolls should I take if I can’t bake at the campsite?

Choose an individual fresh roll that’s ready to eat. According to their product information, Albert Heijn and PLUS sell packaged part-baked rolls that need to be baked. Check the instructions for other packaged rolls too.

Can I take frozen rolls to the campsite?

Yes, as long as you can follow the storage instructions during travel and your stay. Jumbo says its frozen rolls must be stored at −18 °C. According to Jumbo, its white variety must be prepared and eaten within 24 hours of defrosting.

Does every roll contain bakers’ salt?

No. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre says there is no requirement for bread to be baked with bakers’ salt. If you want to take this into account, check the ingredients list for bakers’ salt or iodised salt.

Does multigrain automatically mean more fibre than white bread?

No. Compare the nutritional information for the specific products. PLUS lists 7 g of fibre per 100 g for its multigrain rolls and 2,7 g per 100 g for its white rolls; this difference applies to these two varieties.

Can I tell which allergens a roll contains from its name?
