The perfect sandwich is a satisfying mix of meat, cheese, and toppings on freshly prepared bread. However, deciding what kind of bread to order your creation on can be tricky, especially if your deli carries a wide variety of options. Learn a little more about the types of bread available for subs, wraps, and paninis with this helpful guide. 

3 Popular Sandwich Breads

1. Sub Rolls

Sub rolls are made with flour, water, oil, and yeast and are reminiscent of French bread. A sub roll should have a light, airy center that allows the interior of the sandwich to be the star of the show and a crispier outer rind that keeps the sandwich together.

Sub rolls are used for hoagies, grinders, and steak sandwiches since the bread is sturdy enough to accommodate sauces, oil, vinegar, and plenty of fresh veggies. 

2. Panini Bread 

wrapsIf you want a grilled sandwich, order a panini, which is typically made with ciabatta bread. Ciabatta bread is made with wheat flour, oil, water, and yeast, and has a thick crumb and a crispy crust, making it perfect for grilled sandwiches.

Ciabatta bread toasts nicely in a panini press to create the perfect enclosure for deliciously gooey cheeses and savory meats.

3. Wraps

Tortillas are popular sandwich wrap options and are often made with veggies like spinach to give them additional flavor and color. Sandwich toppings are layered on top of the wrap bread and rolled up like a burrito. Sometimes, wraps are also put into a press to melt the cheese inside.

Many health-conscious people opt for this bread option, as wraps don’t add many calories to a sandwich.
