Ciabatta Loaf Sandwich
Going out for the day doesn’t mean that I want to spend hours slaving over the oven and it’s not necessary to make lots of things to make a picnic a success, but I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t want to make something to be seen and most people would like eat, but it’s not possible to please everyone, right?
Using jars to set everyone up with at least something I know they will love, means that I get to make one major thing that can be a centre piece.
It can be a great quiche, some fabulous baked chicken, an amazing layered summer pie or a particular favourite, a layered ciabatta loaf sandwich:
If you don’t like ciabatta, not to worry, find a loaf that you enjoy and then just layer up with as many tiers of flavours as the bread takes to fill and then leave the rest up to the tasty fillings to make it centre piece worthy.
As well as ciabatta, this works really well with a basic tinned loaf or another favourite of mine, a round crusty cob loaf, yum!
How is it done?
Use a sharp knife to slice along the top of the loaf taking it clean off.
Scoop out some of the soft white inside and set this aside to use on other things. (For this one I used the inside for some stuffed burgers along with the rest of the camembert and red onion).
Then it’s just a matter of layering up some great flavours, placing the bread lid back on, wrapping it all up tightly in foil and pressing it with some heavy objects overnight.
Use lots of charred vegetables, some good soft cheese, a tasty pesto and a selection of salami or good ham or with this one, tuna and boiled eggs – straight from my cupboards and fridge (told you it wasn’t necessary to go shopping for things to use).
This All Goes to Make the Perfect Bite Every Time.
