Sandwiches: Morning, Noon, and Night

Because when you've got good bread, why not put it to work?

Within our circle of family and friends, sandwiches are almost always of interest—for lunches, parties, picnics, road trips, and more. Got leftovers? Build a sandwich. Late night snack cravings? Build a sandwich. A close pal’s baseball game or dance recital to attend? Build a sandwich. Then, build more. 

Bittman’s corn sourdough.

The way I see things with regard to sandwiches: Structural integrity is important. Fillings must be balanced and sensibly layered. Condiments should be kept top of mind, as should textural preferences. Perhaps most importantly, the bread’s gotta be good.
