Visual and delicious miracle, messy disaster – I

I have always wondered that sandwiches were supposed to be savoury and full of following flavours and textures. 

Never did I wonder much about sweet sandwiches. Although I had experienced the luscious Malai sandwich during my childhood.

So back in 2020, when every food blogger was exploring the wackiest dishes, I decided to at least give the now famous peanut butter/nutella sandwich a chance.

I ordered a loaf of millet grain bread and fresh strawberries. It is another matter that those strawberries were whiter and were probably drenched in lemon juice because they were so sour!

So I toasted the slices of these breads on pan, then slathered one pair with peanut butter and the other with Nutella, and added sliced strawberries on each layer of this club sandwich.

Millet flour breads are in general crumblier because refined flour is not there to support the structure of the bread by binding the ingredients. 

When you toast these breads, you are able to get a firmer texture. But when you add a sticky medium such as Nutella or nut butter, you essential threaten the structural integrity of these breads.

And threaten I did!

The sandwich was ready and when I started aesthetically cutting it diagonally with a knife, the aesthetic went to hell because the slices started crumbling like a mud chocolate. 

And with that my blog post on how to craft a fruit sandwich that steals your heart! 

And instead you have this blog post on how not to create a sandwich when you are not eating alone. The taste was excellent though as the Nutella and peanut butter complemented the sour strawberries.
