24 Creative Bread Recipes to Spice up your Sandwiches

15 April, 2015 by Giselle Rochford 31 Comments

Hey Friends! How’s it goin?

It’s no secret that I love baked goods, but probably don’t know that my first obsession at the bakery wasn’t cookies, brownies or cupcakes. It was bread. Most bakeries have so many different kinds of breads and loaves with different flavours and textures and I’ve always loved trying them all.  

24 Healthy Loaf Recipes to spice up your sandwiches via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

Another little known fact about me? I was the designated sandwich maker in my house. I may not have always been a good cook or baker but I could make a mean sandwich. Perfect meat to veggie to condiment ratio. And of course the choice of bread was always on point. 

At one time in my life, I was convinced that I was going to open a sandwich shop. I would sit around and dream up the gourmet sandwich masterpieces I would create. It was epic. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite work out like that – at least not yet. I actually don’t even have a single sandwich recipe on the blog. Not one. Unless ice-cream sandwiches count. But what I do have, are loads of bread and loaf recipes that you can use to spice up your sandwiches this summer. 

Take your sandwiches to the next level with these 24 creative #healthy loaf #recipes

    EVERYONE loves a good bread! I love quick breads and yeast breads and it’s so much fun to experiment (since mine are always gf and vegan, you never know what will come out!)

      haha very true! I haven’t experimented with vegan breads yet, but that’s the next step. And I’m out of regular flour and refuse to buy more until I move in two weeks so gf may be a necessity too LOL

      Chocolate + PB is always an awesome combo. When you combine it with bread, my mind is pretty much blown lol

    Hard to believe, but I’m not a huge sandwich fan. I’d much rather have a deconstructed sandwich with little to no bread than eat it all together. I know, I’m weird.

      Most of these are quick breads so they don’t use yeast. Makes it a lot easier and takes way less time!

    […] the idea of a week filled with pumpkin recipes, I knew I had to make some sort of pumpkin bread. Sweet/quick breads are my one of my favourite things to make (and eat) EVER so I’m pretty surprised it took me […]
