Top Ways to Make Better Sandwiches Easily

Sandwiches are easy to make - all you need is bread and something to put on it. You can even make it in just minutes. However, some sandwiches can get boring and taste generic sometimes over time. So, how can you make it better? Here are some tips.

Start With A Great Bread



When making a sandwich, we usually think of what should go with the bread, not what the bread should be. It’s common, though, but if you want to make your sandwiches better, maybe it’s time to start with choosing a great bread too.


Apparently, breads have different textures and tastes. Because of this, making sandwiches should be the other way around - and that is starting by choosing the kind of bread to use first.

Keep It Fresh



Most of us like to prepare sandwiches the night before. While it’s convenient, it can affect its texture the next morning. Depending on the ingredients, it can also become soggy.


To ensure that you’re able to keep your sandwiches fresh, only make it the day you’ll serve it. It will also help if you make your own bread as you can even make bread using the Instant Pot. This way, you’re sure that your bread isn’t stale and is healthier.


This might need some more time and effort, though. But doing this will ensure the quality of your sandwich.

Spread Makes Sandwiches A Lot Better



With just a dry toast and a ham, you can already make a sandwich. But, it doesn’t always taste great because, over time, it just becomes boring. A spread will make it better, though.


Try adding some butter or mayonnaise to your bread. You can also add salsa, BBQ sauce, or hummus - just basically anything that spreads well on the sandwich. This will not only give your sandwich’s taste a boost, but it will also add more texture to it, which will make your eating experience a lot better.

Consider Toasting It


If you’re making the sandwich at home, also consider toasting it. Aside from giving you more texture, toasting your bread can help bring out more flavors too - from the bread to whatever you put in your sandwich. Even your cheese will warm up and become tastier, thanks to the Maillard reaction, a chemical reaction that’s a bit like caramelization. In case you don't own a toaster don't panic, there are plenty of different ways to toast bread without a toaster.

It’s All About Layering




What should you put first in your sandwich, the meat, cheese, tomatoes, spread, or lettuce? Often, we don’t think about it much and just put whichever we see first. However, to make a great sandwich, layering is important too.


If you layer your sandwich well, you can prevent it from getting soggy too quickly. The trick is to place your meat and cheese at the bottom. Then, add the watering veggies, like sliced tomatoes, in the center. The crisper ones should be placed on the top layer.


Transforming your plain sandwich is easy. You don’t need fancy fillings to make your sandwich tastier. Sometimes, all you need are these tips to make better sandwiches for your loved ones.

  1. I remember the days of sandwiches with all the trimmings. I do like spreads but I would put it on the meat and not the bread. Good bread can make the difference and improve any middle.

  5. We love making sandwiches at home and, yes, we lightly toast the bread because the light crunch is wonderful. That and a layer of fillings and you have the prefect sandwich.
