Notes
Because multigrain bread adds texture to your sandwich and toasts up nicely on the outside, while retaining a good chew on the inside, it is a great choice of bread for any toasted sandwich.
Using the combination of butter and mayonnaise to toast the outside of the bread makes the perfect crispy crunch for any toasted sandwich.
