Sandwiches are classic for a reason. There is so much you can do with a sandwich, hot or cold. They’re great for on the go, or sometimes they’re piled so high you have to sit down with a fork and knife to eat it. Either way, the bread you choose can make or break your sandwich. You want something that can hold the weight of the contents of your sandwich and most people prefer a bit of a crunch from the crust with a soft, doughy inside. Here are some of the best breads for sandwiches.

Focaccia Bread

Focaccia bread is an incredibly delicious Italian flatbread that is super soft on the inside.  The best part of the focaccia bread, however, is the crust. The crust is super crispy and sometimes is flavored with olive oil, salt, and/or rosemary. Focaccia is great for toasted sandwiches because it can hold gooey cheese without getting soggy due the crispy crust. 

Sourdough Bread

Sourdough bread has been rising in popularity lately—and for good reason. Sourdough is a great option for people who have gluten sensitivities because it’s easier to digest than other types of breads. Sourdough also has a unique flavor that becomes a great addition to any sandwich.

French Baguette

The French Baguette is another classic sandwich staple. It’s great for those cold sandwiches because it still brings that fresh flavor and texture, even if it’s been sitting in your lunch bag for a few hours. It’s also a longer bread, so you can make a much larger sandwich with it.
