Sandwich on the Mind

I have been scouring the internet lately trying to come up with ideas for interesting sandwiches. I often am drawn to the delicious looking pulled pork or slow cooked bbq meats sandwiches but am off put by the 12+ hour cooking process to get there. However, I think the start of my quest for a great sandwich is to find the perfect bread. This week I came across a recipe for Ciabatta bread from Anna Olsen on the food network. I haven't previously watched her shows on the Food Network or read up on any of her recipes, but I must say I was impressed with this recipe. The dough did not need to be adjusted with more water or flour and the video on the site was clear and concise. The resulting bread had a crisp thin crust and a light airy inside and would be a great with any sandwich!

Let's take a peek to see how their doing!

Straight from the oven overlooking the cutting board, all those fruits and vegetables in the background making us look healthy!

Not quite the perfect rectangle but not bad for a first try.

This loaf had quite the air bubble in it.

I will now wax poetic and leave you with this sandwich haiku hinting at a recipe to follow later this week:
Warm soft crusty bread,
Chicken, bacon, lettuce, cheese,
Delectable treat.
