The bread bakery that I am working at is opening a second location late winter. The owner is thinking of offering a tiny selection (2-3) of sandwiches to include perhaps a panini made ones.

These would be on our fresh baked breads, rolls, baguettes.
We plan on local cheeses and deli lunch meat from a local meat market.

Since produce is out of season it will be whats in grocery stores until yes I can grow something. Onions, basil, tomatoes for sure.

Stonewall kitchen products too will be used for spreads as well as local butter and perhaps homemade mayonnaise.

Perhaps a vegetarian option and as we also bake gluten free products that will be available too.

Gourmet peanut butter and jelly perhaps??

What would you want?????

A price hasn't been determined yet as for one thing it will be more than say Subway as the ingredients will be better

soft bread, cheese, thinly sliced onions*, tomatoes**, mayo
or
soft bread, sandwich meat, chopped dill pickle, mayo & mustard

I'm not a big fan of sandwiches but like the two above.
A sandwich has to have very soft fresh bread or I can't eat it!


*use mild onions or soak the slices in cold water then pat dry
**put the tomato slices on a napkin for a few minutes and they won't make the sandwich soggy

I had a tuscany turkey sandwich today that was to die for!!

Italian bread/ 6" bagget
mayo
turkey
tomato
red onion
artichoke slices
havati cheese or mozza
grilled turkey breast
Some kind of tomato tuscany sauce
lettuce

Everything was put on 1/2 of the sliced bagget except the: tomatoes, lettuce and tuscany sauce.

It was grilled open faced until the cheese was melted.

Then the tomatoes, lettuce and tuscany sauce were put on. And then the top.

YUM

I think it was $5.50 or something like that. For an additional dollar I got a bowl of soup and a canned drink. Total price was $7.05.

* Shaved ham, thinly sliced cheese (Gruyere, Emmenthal, Havarti, not cheddar), interesting mustard, leaf lettuce -- on light rye or multi-grain
* BLT with a little mayo -- on toasted multi-grain
* Egg salad with thinly sliced cucumber -- on multi-grain
* Avocado with either shaved ham or bacon bits and a little mayo -- on multi-grain

You can always caramelize the onions, too. There's a good recipe to caramelize onions in a crock pot, so you can do a lot at one time and once they're in the crock pot, you have the time to do other things.

The Stonewall products are really good, but they're a wee bit pricey. Can you make some spreads yourself?

We like chicken breast sandwiches with caramelized onions, served warm with
mayonnaise
fresh lime juice
hot smoked Spanish paprika
garlic clove, pressed
extra-virgin olive oil and vegetable oil
onions, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise
skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut crosswise in half
sourdough sandwich rolls thick slices of sourdough bread
watercress or arugula

Here are some other ideas:
  • Ham, Swiss, and apricot jam
  • pesto, slices of tomato, mozzarella cheese
  • roast beef and garlic-herb cheese)
  • roast beef and Gorgonzola
  • roast beef, Cheddar, and chutney
  • apple or pear and Cheddar or Stilton
  • sliced chicken, buffalo wing sauce, and blue cheese
  • chopped and marinated artichoke hearts, roasted peppers, and provolone
  • chocolate chips and raspberry jam
  • refried beans, Cheddar or Jack cheese, and salsa
  • Swiss, mustard, and bacon with slices of tomato
  • finely chopped ratatouille and Gruyere
  • pepperoni, mozzarella, and a little pizza sauce or tomato
  • caramelized onions and Gruyere, Swiss, or Emmentaler with slices of roast beef
  • sauteed mushrooms and Swiss (make sure the mushrooms have a touch of Worcestershire or balsamic vinegar)
  • thin slices of eggplant cutlet (breaded) with mozzarella and tomato or pizza sauce
  • brie and strawberry jam

Hmm I think there should be a PB&J for sure..
One I'd also like to have for that vegetarian option would be a good gourmet bread with baked red peppers, baked zucchini, eggplant, fresh tomatoes and lettuce, cheese and possibly some hummus spread on the bread to replace that protein since there isn't any meat.

chicken and avocado is my favourite type of sandwich - I am very fussy when it comes to sandwiches!

Being one who should be gluten free . I appreciate meats that are also gluten free , most are but several processed meats have hidden glutens that many can get sick from.

I love p b and j but also like almond butter or soy butter

Our local natural foods store has a few really good sandwiches:
Whole grain bread with shredded cheese, mayo, avocado, sprouts, tomato, lettuce, and for $2 more you can get turkey.

Also they have a peanut butter, banana, honey, and raisin sandwich.

One I like making at home is turkey, bacon, avocado, with mayo, lettuce, & tomato.

What about pumpkin butter? I"m sorry, but I'm not familiar with gluten issues. Trader Joe's has delicious pumpkin butter. The pumpkin butter tastes not quite like an apple butter, but is richer. And it's delicious on muffins.

Gail have you checked out the Stonewall website? They have some sandwich recipes on there using their products. I had a pork sandwich at the Stonewall Cage once which was pork, maple chipotle grille sauce, caramelized onions and some veggies and it was fantastic.

When I make a sandwich I think quick and easy, that's what a sandwich is supposed to be. Why you would make stuff in a crock pot and make a big fuss over a simple sandwich is beyond me. I don't eat sandwiches often but when I do, must have very fresh bread that has never been refrigerated or frozen, that takes away the freshness and taste away, at least for me it does. Put on whatever lunch meat or tuna or egg salad you prefer and eat it, there all done...no big deal. I know some people are just not happy if they don't make a big mess in the kitchen even while making a simple sandwich...geesh :-)

I am not sure how popular the pb & J sandwich would be. I think most people looking for a sandwich are usually looking for something healthy? I know I am..

I would like a turkey breast sandwich personally..with lots of veggies and some bean sprouts

What I've also been doing with sandwiches is forgoing the butter/mayo. Instead I've been putting a spicy hummus on one slice and guacamole on the other slice. It goes really well with chicken or turkey. You can add sprouts, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, bacon.....so yummy!
