Sometimes, I’m not in the mood to make an elaborate meal, so what do I do? Why make fresh bread, of course! I’m silly. Anyway, having a bread maker is pretty much the greatest thing ever…two hours after I decide I want fresh bread, I have it. This sandwich, aside from the bread, was made up of me staring at things in my fridge and trying out a new combination. It turned out amazing, so I wanted to share! The bread recipe comes from the recipe booklet that came with my bread maker, but I’ll share it also in case you want to try it out. As mentioned here, I have a Panasonic SD-YD250.

Herbed Bread:

(makes a medium size loaf)

3 cups bread flour

1 1/2 tablespoons butter

1 1/2 tablespoons dry milk

3 tablespoons herbs (I use a Tuscan seasoning mix, but a mix of 2 T dill, 1 T onion flakes, and 1 t thyme would be good, too)

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/8 cup water

1/2 teaspoon yeast

Sandwich:

For the sandwich, I topped the still-warm bread with lemon curd, brie, and arugula from our CSA. I spread one slice of bread with about 1 tablespoon lemon curd, added about 4 thinly sliced pieces of brie, and a handful of arugula.

With the flavorful bread and the spicy arugula, the sweet lemon curd and creamy brie added a nice counterpoint. If I had it in the fridge, this was just screaming for some prosciutto! Mmm.

What is your favorite sandwich combination?
