A guide for bakers, cafés and caterers
When it comes to making the perfect sandwich, it’s only as good as the bread holding it together.
Whether you’re building a classic ham and cheese toastie, a gourmet club stack, or a staple egg and lettuce sanga, the right bread elevates your menu from standard to standout.
So, what is the best bread for sandwiches? Let’s break it down and explore why Suprima’s sandwich bread dough range is a top choice for food businesses across Australia.
What is the best bread for sandwiches?
When choosing the best types of bread for sandwiches, it all comes down to how the bread pairs with the fillings, how well it holds up, and the overall eating experience. A good sandwich loaf should be soft, slice evenly, and stay fresh after baking. For food businesses, it should also be reliable, easy to prep, and suitable for a wide range of uses.
In Australia, white sandwich bread remains the most popular choice for its soft texture and versatility. But many cafés, bakeries, and caterers are now expanding their menus with wholemeal and multigrain sandwich loaves to cater to health-conscious customers and those who want more flavour and texture.
At Suprima, we recommend starting with our White Sandwich Loaf for all-round use, then adding Wholemeal and Multigrain Sandwich Loaf to give your customers more choice and variety. These frozen doughs bake fresh, slice beautifully, and offer consistent quality with every batch.
A quality sandwich loaf should tick a few key boxes:
- Soft texture, that is easy to bite through without overpowering the filling
- Perfect sliceability, for clean, even slices that make for neat presentation
- Mild flavour that complements, rather than competes with, your fillings
- Toasts well for a golden and crisp finish without drying out
- Stays fresh, so it holds up well after baking, slicing, and storing.
Whether you’re running a bustling café or prepping for a catering order, using a consistent, bake-fresh bread base makes all the difference.
What about the best bread for different types of sandwiches?
Best bread for deli sandwiches
When it comes to hearty deli-style sandwiches, you think layers of roast beef, pastrami, turkey, cheese, and pickles. For this, you want a bread that holds its shape without being too dense.
Our White Sandwich Loaf is perfect here. It’s soft but sturdy, making it ideal for stacking bold flavours without falling apart.
You could also try a more robust loaf like our German Rye Vienna which bakes with the earthy taste of rye, with a firm crust and dense crumb, that supports a well-filled deli sandwich.
Best bread for finger sandwiches
For catering, afternoon teas, or café platters, finger sandwiches require a bread that’s soft, fine-crumbed, and easy to cut neatly.
The best bread for finger sandwiches is definitely a classic white or wholemeal loaf with a delicate texture.
Suprima’s White Sandwich Bread Dough bakes into a beautifully soft loaf with a clean slice. It’s just perfect for dainty cucumber sandwiches, egg and mayo, or chicken and chive finger sandwiches.
Best bread for toasted sandwiches
When making the perfect toastie, you want bread that gets golden and crispy on the outside but stays soft inside.
We recommend our Wholemeal Sandwich Loaf or Multigrain Sandwich Loaf as they are fantastic for toasties. They crisp up nicely, add flavour and fibre, and pair well with popular sandwich fillings like cheese and tomato.
