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

      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

    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!

Fell in love with avo toast all over again this mo Fell in love with avo toast all over again this morning 😍😍😍

For a really long time avocado on toast was a staple in my diet. I had it almost every Tuesday - mostly so I could have something to post on #toasttuesday. But when I took my extended break from social media last year I realised that I didn't actually want it week after week. And that just made honouring the real cravings 💯 times more satisfying🥑🍞💚
.
Moral of the story: Don't let anything but your body & health - not a hashtag, fad or photo op - dictate what you eat. Just do you 👊🏾
Literally the only food I never get tired of 😍 Literally the only food I never get tired of 😍

Quick thoughts on routines/comfort zones: I went skiing with some friends this weekend which is so far out of my comfort zone I still can't believe I went.
.
1. I get really anxious when I'm away from my apartment overnight (and this trip was ✌ nights)
2. New experiences scare me, especially when heights and falling are involved.
3. I'm scarily attached to my weekend routine and messing with that sends me into a tailspin.
.
Why I'm glad I went: The day started off horribly. There were tears and I had to be rescued by professionals a couple times but I kept going and by the end of the day I was having so much fun I didn't want to leave the slopes. I was also so tired after half a day of skiing I fell asleep before I could even miss my apartment. Lastly, I totally survived without my weekend routine. I have a packed lunch for the day (leftover from last week) I got the store this morning to stock up for the week and I feel more at peace and energized today than I have in too many Mondays to count.
.
All that to say: don't let your fears, routines or comfort zones stop you from experiencing everything life has to offer 💁🏾
