Simple but tasty, here's how to prepare perfect sandwiches. And then, free your imagination!
Simple, tasty and quick: is there perhaps a lunch or snack better than sandwiches and toasts? You can prepare them in a thousand different ways, following yours creativity and your tastes! In the meantime, here are 3 small suggestions directly from the chefs of The Italian Cuisine School and then free your imagination.
One: Bread
To make an excellent sandwich or toast, as always, it is essential to start from a good raw material, in this case the bread. You can use special flours, such as kamut, wholemeal, rye or buckwheat, which will give the bread a special flavor; or you can also try to flavor it directly.
Two: The consistency
In the toast, the bread is obviously toasted and therefore crunchy. In the case of the sandwich, however, the bread must not be crisp at all, but rather soft. For this reason, it is important to consume it immediately after preparation, so that it does not get too soft, also because the bread in the box is very tender and quickly absorbs the humidity of the ingredients.
Three: Fillings and fillings
As for the toast and sandwich sandwiches, you can really choose at your convenience, but be careful not to include too many ingredients: it is important that your sandwiches are easy is comfortable to eat for both you and your guests!
