It’s no secret that I’m prone to love a good sandwich. I think it’s the ultimate food type. Whether it’s a juicy, hamburger with mature cheddar and mayo or quiveringly rare roast beef with mustard and onions, I love them all. Of course, a sandwich is only as good as the bread it is made with and so I always try to use bread that has been made with good flour and have no preservatives and additives. I have found two excellent bakeries in Pretoria who do bread better than anyone else. Broodhuijs and Lucky Bread Co. are both in the Brooklyn/Nieuw Muckleneuk area and so very conveniently located for me. Broodhuijs is literally 500m away from my home and I could not be happier about it (their pastries and coffee are also absolutely phenomenal). So when I had a loaf of Broodhuijs’ multigrain loaf a while ago, I knew I wanted to make a fabulous sandwich with it. I’ve always been a fan of the classic Chicken Mayo sandwich and wanted to upgrade it a little. I added finely chopped celery, onion and quartered grapes because I wanted to add texture and flavour and instead of using all mayo, I mixed a little Greek yoghurt into the dressing which lightens it up slightly and adds a delicious tang. Served on the chewy multigrain bread, it made for a most delicious sandwich.
