Paul Hollywood confirms which type of bread is ‘best’ to make sandwich

It has to be said that you can’t beat a good sandwich.

They’re tasty, filling and can be packed with all sorts of flavours. When it comes to having lunch, they really are a hearty treat.

But, according to ‘s Paul , there’s always a bread that’s “best” to use when making the tasty staple. He recently gave his verdict in a video, and his answer may surprise you.

He said: “The best sandwich bread. It depends on the sandwich. I’m really fond of an egg and cress sandwich.

“Soft white loaf with the crust cut off. Yeah, I know – cut off. I think a baguette works beautifully for a sandwich – whether it’s that classic sort of cheese and ham.

“Focaccia works beautifully well with a steak sandwich with rocket on the top. Amazing. Choose your filling, and then choose your favourite bread.”

The video has been viewed thousands of times since it was shared, and people were quick to comment too. They had all sorts of different thoughts.

One person said: “Choose your filling and then choose your bread. This is the way!”

Another wrote: “Sourdough baguette with an egg and cress filling. Add a tiny bit of grated cheese and it’s a total winner.”

A third replied: “The fact that Paul , of all people, has his crusts cut off is funnier to me than it should be.”

Meanwhile, a fourth also chimed in with: “I truly believe you’re the reason behind my bread addiction.”

What experts say about the “perfect” sandwich

While Paul doesn’t give a specific answer, there are some people who think you should use certain loaves to make a sandwich. To put together a basic sandwich people tend to use white bread, sourdough or a baguette.

This is because all options are versatile and can handle a variety of fillings. But, the best bread for a sandwich all depends on what you’re putting inside.

For example, denser breads such as rye are much better for moist ingredients. Meanwhile, lighter breads like ciabatta are perfect for grilled sandwiches with less filling.
