The 83 Best Sandwich Recipes On The Web

In my opinion, here are the best sandwich recipes on the web. I have picked 83 great sandwich recipes covering 27 major sandwich categories. These categories include grilled cheese sandwiches, BLT sandwiches, club sandwiches, roast beef sandwiches, Reuben sandwiches, grilled chicken sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches and many more.

Of course, these recipes are even better when combined with your own homemade bread! A good sandwich can be made better with great bread. And it is hard to beat homemade bread. Moreover, why pay a fortune for semi-stale deli sandwiches when you can create your own delicious & unique homemade sandwiches?

If you need some bread ideas for your sandwiches, please visit Bread Dad’s sections on bread recipes or bread machine recipes. You will find recipes for buttery white bread, French bread, multigrain bread, bagels, etc.
