Making Great Sandwich
Bread:
You can use any bread you can fill, such as ciabatta, baguette, sourdough bread, or bagel. If you are going to use a higher fat bread such as bagel, be sure to grill it a little.
Lubricants:
You should choose a fatty product such as labneh, mayonnaise, butter, cream, olive paste, tomato paste. It both gives flavour and provides insulation between bread and ingredients. This way, when you put a juicy ingredient such as tomato or cucumber in the sandwich, these products will not wet the bread and soften it.
Cheese
Using spreadable cheeses such as labneh and cream cheese alongside aged cheeses such as kashar, tulum and white cheese is a very good way to increase the taste.
Meat
Be careful to use meats with a dominant flavour, such as bacon and dried meat, with mild cheeses, and meats such as salami, ham, and smoked meats with aged cheeses. You can make the meat more voluminous by folding it, or you can cut it into small pieces and distribute it evenly throughout the sandwich.
Greens& Veggies
Whatever greens you use, be sure to wash them and dry them thoroughly. Be sure to season ingredients such as tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage and onions or flavor them with pickle juice.
To roast, fry or caramelize:
To increase the flavor of the sandwich, for example, if you are using peppers, you can roast them, if you are using potatoes, you can fry them, and if you are using onions, you can caramelize them.
Storing the Sandwich
Wrapping the sandwich and letting it sit increases its flavor. If you are going to eat it within a few hours, you can wrap it in stretch film, or if you are going to make it in the morning and eat it in the evening, you can wrap it in baking paper and store it.
Smoked Meat Sandwich
1/3 baguette bread
3 tablespoons of labneh cheese
5 slices of tomato
2 slices cheddar cheese
100 g cabbage
1 red pepper
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Potato chips
2 slices any kind of smoked meat
3 slices of aged kashar or Tulum cheese
4 slices avocado
• Cut the bread in half and grill the inside
• Spread the labneh on both sides of the bread. It will prevent the bread from getting wet and keep it dry and crispy.
• Sprinkle a pinch of salt on the thinly sliced tomatoes and place them on the labneh.
• Add cheddar cheese and finely chopped cabbage on top.
• Roast 1 red pepper well, cut it into long thin strips and add it to the sandwich. Then add mayonnaise and potato chips.
• Place smoked meat, tulum cheese, avocado and cover the ingredients with other half of the bread.

Love this video. I worked in a deli for 14 years. I use to be queen of sandwich making. I did exactly what you are doing. In some of my meat sandwiches I would put apricot jam mixed in my cream cheese. Sounds weird but my customers loved it with all the other ingredients including sprouts. Seasoning is important.
Yes, please make a series on how to elevate our everyday foods!
Thank you Refika, I love that the tips in all your videos are very useful in so many situations.
I have learnt a lot about the science of cooking in a simple manner through your videos.
I love your Turkish recipes, it would also be interesting to see your take on different cuisines.
Or simplifying some of the more time-consuming dishes we all love but don't have time to make.
I would also love a meal-prep series of some kind which focuses on nutrition/affordability/prep-time!
This is such a fantastic idea for a series - thank you team! I will be watching out for more.
At this point in time, I think elevating everyday food is a great idea. Most of us are looking at how we can save money and the planet, but that's not always easy. By everyday food I'm thinking about lunch and dinner. You've already introduced me to great recipes along this line, so I look forward to more tips. Thanks for sharing your secrets.
This information makes a good cook better .Thank you for spreading your knowledge on food preparation. I always learn something from you and it is very much appreciated.
I love what you and your team are doing with the sandwiches to elevate them by having a formula to follow in preparation. People with food allergies and intolerances can find meal preparation extremely difficult and uninspiring. Trying to find a gluten free bread that tastes good is a task in itself. Adding additional food restrictions to making sandwiches brings in a whole new dimension to becoming creative. Making pesto spreads from another nut, vegetable or lettuce such as broccoli or arugula to replace butter because of a dairy allergy helps to level up the sandwich. Flavoured mayo also adds to the experience. Unfortunately vegan cheese really doesn’t cut it for me. I’m sure there is something out there, but I haven’t found it. Commercially produced deli meats can contain gluten, sulphites and other potential food allergens. Mustards are a lovely addition but are also a potential allergen just as peppers are to a small but growing population . Micro greens and sprouts - I don’t recall you ever growing those. You should as they would be a wonderful addition to your recipes/meals. Find a way to grow them with as little waste and without having to invest in lots of fancy equipment. Everyone can do this at home all year round if they are motivated - this would expand from sandwich to vegetable bowls/salads.
I love this kind of series. It makes me a better “no recipe” cook. Lots of times I just want to figure out how to use what I have rather than making a recipe. And Rafika and her team are just amazing. Thank you so much. ❤
Wow! I always wondered why my sandwiches never taste as good as the ones I buy from the deli. Now I know! Love this idea for a series.
This is great, Refika. I never thought of using cream cheese, or creating a contrast between aged and fresh (it's so true about the flavors getting muddled).
I'm so glad I found your channel 🤩 I have found my inspiration in the kitchen again ☺ Sending love from South Africa!!
This is a video series I will enjoy for sure! I always loved the explanation behind the tips and tricks
I loved this video and the tips for better sandwiches.
Like this content a lot, but find it especially valuable when you talk about tips originating from/pertaining to Turkish cuisine (for example, the idea of making a sandwich out of simit), which I don't see repeated on any other channels. Thanks for your hard work, as always.
Wonderful tips... I never thought about the mix of "old" vs "young" aged products but it makes totally sense!! Thanks!!!
Please do more of these super tip videos!
Oh Rafika! I just Love All your cooking and tips! I even told my husband that if I ever can travel I would only want to go to Turkey and visit you in person!!! I am European born and living in Johannesburg South Africa.
Love It when I get tips I can apply to my own recipies/Creative cooking. Yes please, I need this serie!!! Also ingredients that can replace other ingredients in certain recipies or way of cooking
OH REFIKA ! Thank you so much for this instructions🙏🏿🙏🏿 & I Love 😍 ❤️this new program or method. I really appreciate learning how to assemble products for a good quality & not a squishy sandwich 🥪🥪. This type of informations will actually help lots of novice like me 😀. Thanks again for these tips 🙏🏿👍.
Be blessed as always 🤗
Now this is my kind of video. I love a good sandwich, thank you 🇹🇷
Super excited about this new series!! Details can make or break any meal. Thank you for sharing your tips with us! Can’t wait for the next one to be posted! 💜🎉👏🏼🎉👏🏼🎉💜
I like a variety of video formats.
In particular I adore your didactic and all those unconvetional kitchen-hacks. My Suggestion:
A Travel through Köfte-Universe!
How to organize a turkish party Büffet. + A good deep lesson in levantine spices & combinations.

HEAVENLY!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Make the series!!!
love this series esp for someone who loves to learn techniques of cooking...can u pls make a video for perfect healthy salad ?
Refika, I really love all the content of your videos. Loved this one too! Also when you have a some history of regions in your country of the origins of a recipe, I find it very interesting. Love and blessings to you and your teams🇳🇱🌷❤️😘
A good sandwich is a work of art. We in America certainly take sandwiches for granted. It is usually bread, mustard or mayo and meat and cheese. Lunch becomes basically uninteresting. Thank you for the video and keep up the great work!!!!
Brilliant video Refika! Thank you so much. 🎉
Brilliant video! The most detailed and informative video about sandwich making on UA-cam so far! ❤
Recipes are fine, but really understanding food is what makes a great cook, that and some imagination. This series will be very helpful in that direction.
Thank you very informative. I'm never really considered sandwich contents before now and why when I move on from a very basic sandwich sometimes it doesn't work. I like the idea of the 5 techniques to make Great X series.
Yes, this series is a great idea! I look forward to learning how to improve my techniques.
Elevating salad making would be awesome and rice dishes.
Thanks for helping us all make better tasting food everyday.
We love you and your team.
Canadian living in Oregon USA.
Thank you so much for your adorable comment lots of love from us❤️
Love the new series! Those tips are incredibly helpful; I never would have thought of them on my own. Please keep up the great work. Love you guys! 😘💗
Always good to see you Refika. Found it interesting how you broke it down, those little details make all the difference. I didn't realize about young versus old with the meats and cheese, but it makes sense. Thanks again for the mini class in sandwich making.👍❤️
You made my mouth water. Yummy!
Love the tips and ideas!
Yum! I love your sandwiches!
Any and all tips welcome! Thank you for sharing your love of food and cooking. 🤗🥰
Thank you for this series! Your tips are REALLY valuable. Thank you.

Gorgeous video, thanks Refika & team.
love this!
These sandwiches look delicious. I don’t eat sandwiches very often I try stay away from bread. Thank you for this video . Be safe and many blessings.🦬🐞🐢🪶
I’m known for being a great cook but I still learn things from you! Never thought about using pickle juice on cabbage, though I do use it on my tuna or eggs when making salad from them! Nice tip! I don’t make a lot of sandwiches, but these are some really good points, so I may make them more now!
Love this idea for a series, will definitely be looking out for the next one - Thank you ❤
Love the video, especially enjoy the tips!
Thank you for this great video!

Refika, make some goodies with eggplants! A lot of people here in the US know nothing about eggplants, except some bad made eggplant parmesan, that some restaurants make .
I enjoyed it very much I wish it was longer. Love from Tanzania 🇹🇿
This is a great video! And I would love a series like this going forward where you male am item great.

Lovely ❤
Amazinnggg.. please more of sandwich wisdom!!!
Wow I learned so much thank you for that excellent framework and of course more videos like these are welcome😍🥰
Thank you for sharing the tips on making the sandwiches. Now it makes sense why my sandwiches never taste the same from a sandwich shop. Learned so much from your channel. Thank you❤
Thank You, that was great for my brain, I could taste most everything you described in my head. The cheese chart was cool to learn too.
Thank you super information
I love these kinds of videos, it helps to elevate every day food. Wonderful job of all the team.
I do like your videos. Keep on doing what you are doing.
Loved this. It's nice to have some kind of all-purpose material that anyone from anywhere can apply to improve their meals. Definitely a fan of the tips.
I love learning this kind of tip, so I can fine tune an ordinary meal into something fantastic!
I love these more "technical" videos in the mix!
Great 👍🏻
I've never thought about how to make a good sandwich, I can't wait to try your tips out , thanks so much !
Good video series. Almost like a skills class.
Hi Rafika,Namaste, writing you from Dehradun, India. I am a big fan of your recipes created and curated by you with a hint of something unique blend of smooth taste that hits my taste buds every time. Actually, I love chicken and eggs mostly. Can you please share any sandwich recipe without using mayonnaise , cheese and hame?
I had to make a sandwhich after watching this. I must say it was so delicious.
L0ve all you do. More please! I love when you explain the why of things. Watching your videos inspires me to engage with life!
Hey Refika! This was a very interesting and informative video! Would love to see some more interesting ideas!
Great series idea. Maybe a video on salad essentials, similar to what you did with the sandwich video but about salads.
I like to add sprouts.
Dear Refika and the Team, I love your videos! great work, always useful, always unique. May I ask you to make a video about maintaining copper utensils clean? I was so much inspired by Turkish copper utensils and bought a lot of them, but all of them turned black. I am afraid that blackness gives away harmful substances while cooking on them. Please please make a video on maintaining kitchen utensils healthy 🙏 Million thanks in advance!
Thank you for this. I'd love to learn more about elevating salads. Mine always seem so bland.
Thank you for all the great ideas for sandwiches. One thing I try to follow in all food is the four basics to include: salt, fat, acid and heat. Just including these can vastly improve any food.
I know you’ve made pepper and tomato paste in large quantities because you use it all the time. Is there easier ways to make those for someone who doesn’t need a dozen jars at once? Or doesn’t have access to dry them in the sun? I’m really interested in making all kinds of mixes and condiments mostly because I’m gluten sensitive but just as importantly to keep chemical additives out of my food. I’ve also tried cheese making as well. Thanks as always for your great ideas and dishes.
