sausage between a flaky, buttery Oven-Toasted biscuit, is now available at
participating Dunkin' Donuts shops nationwide for the suggested retail price

Donuts' unique cooking ovens, using patented technologies, deliver the
"Oven-Toasted" result.

Dunkin' Donuts' Oven-Toasting process enhances the taste and quality of
Dunkin' Donuts' menu, cooking breakfast sandwiches evenly and thoroughly,
sealing in flavor, caramelizing meats, creating a fluffier egg and crisping
the bread. Exciting Dunkin' Donuts' Oven-Toasted menu items available all
throughout the day include: 

    --  Flatbread Sandwiches, easy to hold and eat. Options include hot and
        crispy favorites such as Ham & Cheese, Turkey Cheddar & Bacon,
        Grilled Cheese and now the new Chicken Parmesan Flatbread Sandwich. As
        part of its DDSMART menu of better-for-you foods and beverages,
        Dunkin' Donuts also offers two varieties of Egg White Flatbread
        Sandwiches, Turkey Sausage and Veggie, both under 300 calories and
        served on wholesome toasted multigrain flatbread.

    --  Hash Browns, lightly seasoned and served as bite-sized medallions. The
        special Hash Browns container was specifically designed to fit neatly
        into a car cupholder, perfect for on-the-go occasions.
