Sandwich Bread

Sandwich bread (also referred to as sandwich loaf) is bread that is prepared specifically to be used for the preparation of sandwiches. Sandwich breads are produced in many varieties, such as white, whole wheat, sourdough, rye, multigrain and others.

History

The history of sandwich bread is tied to the history of the sandwich. The sandwich was popularized in England in 1762 by John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, and it has been suggested that sandwich bread was developed as a simple, easily portable and compact meal for workers and travelers.

Types

There are many types of bread that are used to make sandwiches. Some of the most common include:

  • White bread: This is the most common type of bread used for sandwiches. It is made from wheat flour from which the bran and the germ have been removed through a process known as milling.
  • Whole wheat bread: This bread is made from whole grain wheat and has a slightly nutty flavor. It is often used for healthy sandwich options.
  • Rye bread: Rye bread has a distinctive flavor and is traditionally used in deli sandwiches.
  • Sourdough bread: Sourdough has a tangy flavor and is often used for gourmet sandwiches.
  • Multigrain bread: This bread contains multiple types of grains and seeds and is often used for healthy sandwich options.

Preparation

Sandwich bread is typically sliced and can be served plain or toasted. The bread can be used as is, or it can be spread with butter, mayonnaise, or other condiments to enhance the flavor and texture of the sandwich.
