 Bread
One of the function of the bread in a sandwich is to provide an
edible casing for the food inside. Ideally, though, the bread
should do more than this. Good quality breads provide variety,
texture, flavor and eye appeal to sandwiches, as well as
providing bulk and nutrients.

 Making sandwiches

The preparation of sandwiches requires a great deal of handwork. Many

individual motions may be required, especially if the sandwiches are
multideckers or have several ingredients. Whether you are making
sandwiches in quantity or to order, your goal must be to reduce your
motions to make the production as efficient and quick as possible.
