Bread determines how and what can be put into the sandwich Shapes, types of batter and flavors, textures, all effect the type of closed sandwich Ethnic breads usually have traditional fillings Fine-grained, like pullmans, are good for clubs, tea, and basic, two-slice items; they will slice without crumbling Coarse-grained are good for large sandwiches Rolls, round or long, are split for fillings Flatbreads may be split and filled or used as a base for an open-faced sandwich Wraps are great for shredded, creamy fillings The Elements American Culinary Federation: Culinary Fundamentals.
Spreads • Fat-based spread keeps the bread from getting soggy, for awhile • Add palatability • For salad-type fillings such as tuna or chicken, bread will need no spread • Types of spreads are dairy-based (cream cheese), flavored butters, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, vegetable and herb spreads, jelly, jam and compotes, guacamole, mayonnaise • The spread should be complimentary to the filling American Culinary Federation: Culinary Fundamentals.
