Overview

Gewoon Bah

This page walks you through crafting a balanced, glorious sandwich—complete with simple diagrams and honest, data‑driven charts. Keep it playful, keep it tasty.

  • ✅ Clear step‑by‑step instructions
  • ✅ Proportions & timing visualized
  • ✅ Printable and responsive layout

What You’ll Need

  • 2 slices of bread (sourdough or your fave)
  • Protein (ham, chicken, tuna, hummus—choose one)
  • Cheese (optional but recommended)
  • Veggies (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles)
  • Sauce (mustard, mayo, pesto)
  • Butter or olive oil
  • Knife, cutting board, toaster (optional)

Allergens: adjust ingredients as needed—sub dairy‑free cheese, gluten‑free bread, etc.

Step‑by‑Step

1) Prep & Slice

Wash and slice your veggies into even, sandwich‑safe shapes. Pat juicy items (like tomatoes) dry to prevent sogginess. Optionally slice bread if it’s a loaf.

Tip: Thin, consistent slices = better layer stability and less slippage.
2) Toast & Spread

Lightly toast the bread for structure. Spread butter or mayo to create a moisture barrier. Add sauce on top of that for flavor.

Barrier science: fat repels water—your bread stays crisp.
3) Layer Like a Pro
  1. Leafy veg first (grip + airflow)
  2. Protein
  3. Cheese (acts as edible glue)
  4. Watery veggies (e.g., tomato) in the middle
  5. Pickles/onions for crunch and contrast
Physics: heavier layers near the center keep the center of mass low and stable.
4) Compress, Cut & Plate

Gently press the sandwich, then cut diagonally for optimal bite‑surface. Plate with a napkin buffer to avoid condensation under the bread.

Diagonal geometry = more crust‑to‑crumb ratio per bite.

Ingredient Graph

Target proportions (tweak to your taste):

Total build time: ~10 minutes (including toast time).

Quality Checklist

  • ☑ Bread is crisp outside, tender inside
  • ☑ Layers are even and centered (no bulging corners)
  • ☑ Flavors balanced: salty, tangy, creamy, fresh
  • ☑ Stays intact for at least 10 minutes of storytelling
Pro move: Lightly salt tomato slices separately to keep salt distribution even.

Printable Recipe (Quick)

  1. Toast 2 slices bread.
  2. Spread butter/mayo on both slices; add sauce.
  3. Layer: lettuce → protein → cheese → tomato/onion/pickles.
  4. Close, press, cut diagonally.
  5. Serve with something crunchy. Enjoy!
