Sandwiches are the perfect food for breakfast and snacks at work. Camping also does not go without a thermos with tea and boxes with sandwiches. In the bakery and baking departments of supermarkets, eyes run up from the abundance of various types of bread. However, the perfect choice for sandwiches would be just a bag of sliced Harris bread squares. According to reviews, they are very convenient for sandwiches - they don’t crumble, and are thin enough not to worry about the state of the figure.
Structure
In the manufacture of Harris toast bread, only high-quality products of the highest grade are used. They bring it to us from America or do it on a franchise. Of these components and adds up a considerable price of the product. Harris toast bread remains fresh for two whole months, but this is only subject to the integrity of the packaging. Open, it is stale and moldy at the same speed as a regular one.
However, two months, even in packaging, is a decent period. What explains it? It turns out that Harris contains calcium propionate. This powerful preservative inhibits mold growth. The second ingredient that prolongs freshness is food alcohol. It retains moisture and prevents the bread from drying out. That's all the secrets. To improve the quality, sugar, salt, yeast or rye sourdough, margarine and numerous flavoring and other additives are added to the product. Their meaning is understood only by the manufacturer and biochemists, however, the bread tastes very good. Reviews of lovers of sandwiches and sandwiches are evidence of this.
Harris wheat bread is baked both with and without bran. They are absent in the rye product, but a certain amount of wheat flour is added to the dough. This is rye-wheat bread. There is also the Seven Grains; in addition to preservatives, alcohol and flavor enhancers include buckwheat, corn and rice flour, oat and barley flakes, as well as flax, sunflower and sesame seeds.
Next, we list the most interesting Harris bread recipes.
In one package 12 toasts. This is quite a bit, considering that the price of one is about 6 rubles, and the cost of the entire package (470 g) is 72 rubles.
Since this type of baking was originally intended for sandwiches (toasts), our recipes will be just about them.
With bacon and cheese
A sandwich will need three slices of Harris wheat bread. From one you need to remove the crumb. Pour a little oil into the pan, heat and lower a square of bread without crumb on it. At the bottom of the pan, put several thin slices of bacon into the window from the bread. Pour a raw egg on them. Gently pierce the yolk with a fork and spill a little with the protein. Do not shift the bacon. Put a few more slices of bacon on the egg. Once the protein has set, turn the bread with bacon and egg to the other side with a wide spatula. Bring to readiness.
Grease two toasts with ketchup on one side. Pour the grated cheese onto one and shift the cooked toast with the egg. Pour cheese on top and cover the structure with a third toast so that the side with ketchup lies on the cheese. Place the toast in the oven. As soon as the cheese begins to melt, take out. Eat hot with tea or coffee. Gourmet reviews say that Harris wheat bread gives the resulting dish an incredibly delicate and fresh taste.
With salmon
For a sandwich you need light-salted salmon, pickled cucumber, processed cheese of the Druzhba type and two toasts.
Toast with cheese on one side. Slices of salmon and cut into small squares - it’s more convenient to eat. Cucumber - thin rings. Spread salmon and cucumber on one toast. Cover with a second, cheese down. Put in a hot oven for 5 minutes. This sandwich is especially tasty with sweet black tea with lemon. We recommend it as a snack for going to the forest for mushrooms or for hunting.
In Italian
It tastes best if you use Harris wheat bread for sandwiches, having previously browned a little in the toaster or in a dry frying pan.
For one closed sandwich, and this is how the word “sandwich” is translated into Russian, you need sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, salami and arugula.
Pour the grated cheese onto one toast, spread on it slices of tomatoes, on them - arugula. Above are thin mugs of salami. Sprinkle with cheese, cover with a second toast. Put in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. This sandwich in the fresh air will also be very handy, as well as the rustic version.
Rustic
A rustic sandwich is a riot of unprofessional culinary imagination displayed in your own kitchen. Such a food composition may contain a variety of ingredients. Ideally, if it contains cheese, tomatoes and something from meat: low-fat veal, chicken, cutlet or sausage. You can use herring, fried mushrooms. It is important that all components of the sandwich, except, of course, bread, be sliced as thin as possible.
Since this recommendation is not always feasible (for example, if you take a cutlet), we suggest using the advice from the first recipe, that is, bake one (middle) toast with an egg, in which to mix fresh herbs and mashed cutlet. Spread two other slices with ketchup and cover them with a middle toast. Between the layers lay mugs of tomatoes and squares of thin cream cheese, designed just for such sandwiches and sold in every supermarket.
Gourmet
This sandwich will appeal not only to gourmets. For him, it is better to take Harris bread - rye-wheat or Seven Grains. The main ingredient in this sandwich is avocado. Ripe fruit must be cut in half, take out a bone, and spread the pulp on the toast. Sprinkle with lemon juice immediately, otherwise the avocado will darken. Boil the shrimp, peel off the shells and arrange on the toast. Remove the pulp from one toast and put it on the first one - to limit the filling and prevent it from falling out. Sprinkle with pepper and salt. Cover with a third toast. Grill. Shrimp will successfully replace red fish or thinly sliced chop.
The balsamic cream sauce is ideal for avocados. It is sold with various additives - truffle oil, basil, rosemary, etc. The base of the sauce is balsamic vinegar. They need to sprinkle the filling. This composition is very good for the following recipe (salty version).
With cottage cheese
Such a sandwich can be made both sweet and salty.
For salty, you need to wipe fresh cottage cheese through a sieve. Chop one clove of garlic and mash with salt. Grind greens (arugula, dill, parsley, etc.). Peppers are peeled and baked in the oven. Remove film from it. Harris bread is heated in a toaster. Mix all the ingredients and spread thickly on the toast. Cover with a second piece. This cottage cheese pasta can be improved by mixing it with pickled cucumbers, olives, salted fish or ham.
For a sweet sandwich, wheat bread is also better to heat. As the basis of curd paste, both ready-made curd mass and ordinary curd are suitable. It must be wiped through a sieve or whipped with a blender. Mix with honey or condensed milk, add fried nuts and soaked dried fruits. If it is dried apricots or prunes, then they should be cut, and put raisins or cherries whole. Spread on bread and cover with a second toast.
Exotic
An exotic sandwich is best made from Harris white wheat bread. Two toasts need to be spread with chocolate paste. Between them lay a layer of thinly sliced bananas, sprinkled with dried mint. Brown in the oven. Chocolate paste is suitable for both white and brown. It can be replaced with honey. In this case, cinnamon powder will serve as an alternative to mint.
Such a sandwich could harm the figure if it were made from ordinary bread, but bran is added to the dough for Harris toasts. According to consumer reviews, after one sandwich eaten during morning coffee, there was no critical weight gain, but a good mood and energy boost are always provided.
Dessert
This sandwich will appeal to children and adults who love sweets.
He will need boiled condensed milk and fried nuts. Walnuts, peanuts, and hazelnuts will do. You can even roast chestnuts. Fry the toasts in butter. One spread a thick layer of condensed milk, generously pour crushed nuts and cover with a second toast.
The second option is simpler, but no worse and also very tasty. For him, toast does not need to be fried. They need to be spread with butter, and then honey. Laying on top of each other is delicious and healthy!
