10 TIPS FOR MAKING THE PERFECT SANDWICH

January 14, 2022 Posted in: Bread Inspiration -

A sandwich makes a wonderfully convenient meal. However, its simplicity means
that some people slap any filling between two pieces of bread and call it a day.
If you want to learn how to make a better sandwich, you’ve come to the right
place. Follow our top 10 tips for making sandwiches and start creating your own
masterpieces.


1. USE QUALITY INGREDIENTS

To make a tasty sandwich, you have to start with tasty ingredients. Opting for
high-quality meats, cheeses, toppings and condiments will ensure your sandwich
looks and tastes its best. The next time you take a trip to the grocery store or
the farmer’s market, you’ll want to pick up an array of fresh ingredients to
build the ideal sandwich:

 * Get your meats freshly sliced at the deli counter.
 * Skip the presliced, packaged cheeses for artisan alternatives in the cheese
   section. The extra preparation will be worth the flavor of an aged cheddar
   from a local farm.
 * Be sure to grab whole vegetables like tomatoes and romaine lettuce to slice
   up for your sandwich.

Let your tastebuds determine the best sandwich toppings and make sure they’re
the best quality you can find.


2. INCORPORATE SAUCES AND SPREADS

Once you have your quality ingredients, it’s time to consider the sauces and
spreads. The right condiments will take your sandwich to a whole new level. If
you’re looking for a change of pace from the condiments you typically add to
your sandwiches, try making your homemade versions. Replacing your plain mayo
with homemade lemon dill mayonnaise can elevate a sandwich all on its own.

Here are a few of the best sandwich condiments you might like to try:

 * Chipotle mayonnaise
 * Dijon mustard
 * Hummus
 * Tzatziki
 * Fruit jam
 * Pepper jelly
 * Barbecue sauce
 * Pesto


3. REMEMBER TO ADD VEGETABLES

Sometimes your cravings can only be satisfied by a ham and cheese sandwich. When
you’re considering the characteristics of a good sandwich, though, vegetables
are an essential part of the puzzle. Whether you prefer a few dill pickle slices
or some caramelized onion, your vegetable choices can help your sandwich taste
fresher and lighter.

If you’re looking to add a new vegetable to your sandwiches, you may want to
try:

 * Lettuce
 * Spinach
 * Tomatoes
 * Pickles
 * Onions
 * Avocado
 * Sprouts
 * Olives
 * Peppers
 * Mushrooms
 * Coleslaw


4. KEEP PROPER PAIRINGS IN MIND

There’s a reason the peanut butter and jelly sandwich is such an iconic
sandwich. Choosing your sandwich toppings based on how well they pair with each
other ensures each bite will taste perfect. The best sandwich toppings will
complement each other in both flavor and texture.

For example, a creamy brie cheese, spicy pepper jelly and cured salami sandwich
tastes delicious thanks to the marriage of sweet, hot and spicy flavors. Slices
of honey ham, sharp cheddar cheese and spicy whole-grain mustard on premium
wheat bread make a great-tasting arrangement.

Consider how well your sandwich ingredients work together as you compile it, and
take the chance to experiment!


5. GET CREATIVE WITH CHEESE OPTIONS

There are dozens of different types of cheese to browse at the supermarket.
Swapping out basic slices for a hunk of finely-aged cheese can make a
significant difference in your sandwiches. If you’re looking for more choices
than your local grocery store has to offer, you may want to head to a specialty
cheese shop where you can sample various kinds until you find the right one for
you.



Here are a few cheese options for sandwiches that can truly elevate your meal:

 * Gouda
 * Goat cheese
 * Muenster
 * Swiss
 * Pepper jack
 * Provolone
 * Cheddar


6. TRY DIFFERENT KINDS OF BREAD

The right bread is the key to making a better sandwich. It’s important to select
the proper sandwich bread so your sandwich can support the delicious flavors you
pack inside.

Sometimes, you can find the best bread for sandwiches right in the name, like
toasted club white bread for the turkey, bacon, tomato, lettuce and mayonnaise
in a traditional club sandwich. However, you can also choose your bread based on
your sandwich’s depth. For example, two slices of premium Texas toast are thick
enough to support the delicious weight of a barbecue brisket sandwich.

To find bread that tastes delicious with your ingredients, start with fresh,
quality bread. Whatever your other requirements for your bread choice, you’ll
want to make sure you buy it from a quality bread maker, so you know it’ll hold
up and taste great.

7. ADD A LITTLE SWEETNESS

The beauty of a sandwich is its versatility. If you’re a fan of super savory
sandwiches, try switching things up by adding a touch of sweetness to your next
meal. A sweet element can make for a great sandwich when contrasted with spicy,
salty flavors.

A few tasty ways to add sweetness to your sandwiches include incorporating jams,
honey and fruit slices. For instance, putting apple slices on a chicken sandwich
can make your sandwich taste fresher. Feel free to experiment with different
additions until you get the best sweetness ratio for you.


8. PILE ON THINLY-SLICED MEAT

When you’re constructing a sandwich, opt for thinly-cut slices of meat. A thick
slab of ham or turkey is generally too heavy for what’s meant to be a handheld
meal. By using thin slices instead, you can enjoy the meat without compromising
your sandwich’s overall composition.

Using thin-cut slices also gives you the chance to use more than one kind of
meat. For example, turkey and ham are a classic combination. If you like a
chicken, bacon and avocado sandwich on white bread, thinly-sliced chicken leaves
you plenty of room for the rest of your delicious toppings. When you’re serving
up sandwiches for a party, offering an array of thin cuts will give everyone the
chance to pile their bread high with different options.

Though thick meat cuts certainly have their time and place — we’re looking at
you, crispy chicken sandwich — you’re often better off going for the
thinly-sliced variety.


9. LAYER EACH ITEM INTENTIONALLY

Yes, “sandwich science” exists, and it’s all about layering your sandwiches
correctly. When planning your sandwich strategy, put some thought into your
assembly. The right sandwich arrangement will ensure you experience every
ingredient’s flavor and texture.

One idea for layering your sandwich, from the bottom of the sandwich up, is:

 1. Slather your condiments on the bottom slice of bread.
 2. Add the densest vegetables, like pickles, followed by the lettuce and then
    the tomato.
 3. Add the cheese.
 4. Add the meat.
 5. Spread another layer of condiments on the top slice of bread.

This layering method is popular for a few reasons. First, the condiments act as
a base for the subsequent vegetables, ensuring they don’t slide off. Second, the
meat and cheese on a sandwich are usually meant to complement each other, so it
makes sense to arrange them together. Finally, you’re sure to get the flavor of
the condiments with the meat at the top of the sandwich.

Many people like other layering tricks — you may prefer to disperse the
vegetables throughout the sandwich or place your lettuce at the top to resemble
a garnish. Fortunately, you can mix and match when it comes to layering
strategies. Experiment with your own ideas until you’ve developed your perfect
layering technique.


10. GRILL THE FINAL PRODUCT

If you’ve ever enjoyed a panini, you know that there’s something special about a
toasted sandwich. Give yours some extra crunch by toasting it in a pan. Simply
add some butter to a hot pan or spread a little mayonnaise on the bread and
toast your sandwich on either side until golden brown. Just be sure to put your
cold ingredients on afterward to retain their flavor and texture!
