Which breads are best for sandwiches?
Everyone loves a great sandwich! Whether you’re a fan of ham and cheese, egg and cress, or something ridiculously fancy like pastrami on rye, the foundation of a great sandwich is the bread upon which it’s buttered!
So which kinds of breads are most popular for sandwiches, and most commonly requested for office lunch delivery at www.crumbsdelivered.co.uk/shop/office-lunch-delivery/? Let’s take a closer look!
Regular sliced bread
Everyone knows this classic sliced loaf from childhood! White when you’re in the mood for something soft and delicious, brown when you’re looking for healthy fibre, and half-n-half when you’re ready to compromise. Alternative modern versions include gluten-free sliced bread and also seeded bread which is, frankly, excellent.
Sandwich rolls
Whether you call them rolls or barms, there are many delicious sandwich rolls available, including sub rolls – long and shaped like an American football, burger buns, and regular round sandwich rolls. They’re all perfect for holding those all-important sarnie ingredients. Look out for potato rolls, too, in some parts of the UK, which are ideal for toasting and enjoying with butter.
Focaccia bread
Expect to have to lick your fingers clean, if you treat yourself to this delicious Italian bread. It’s worth it, though, for this magnificent bread, which is simultaneously crispy, fluffy, soft and chewy. The crunchy salt and rosemary on top really is the icing on the cake, so to speak.
Ciabatta
Another Italian classic, this bread means ‘slipper’ in its home language and it soared into public consciousness in the 90s when big restaurants used it for their ‘fancy’ bread. It’s ideal drizzled with olive oil and used to mop up balsamic vinegar, or for light and salad-based sandwich ingredients with plenty of thin ham and cheese.
