FAQs

Can I use different bread for this sandwich?

Yes, any sturdy bread like whole wheat, rye, or multigrain works well if you don’t have sourdough on hand.

How do I prevent soggy bread in my BLT?

Toast the bread well and add condiments sparingly. Placing lettuce directly on the bread creates a barrier that helps keep it crisp.
