How do you like the roll that is surrounding this big fat Roasted Vegetable Sandwich? Ed made it and quite a few more to tell you the truth.
You see, I asked my husband for a breadmaker for Christmas. His response was ‘Do you?’, kind of questioning. That’s all. Just ‘Do you?’.
So I went into ‘Yeah, I want to start making our own bread and I think with all my other cooking that would help me out a lot’.
He just pursed his lips and shook his head like – yeah, okay – that sounds good. End of conversation. I know he is thinking a whole lot more.
Sometimes he is quite. Sometimes he isn’t. Sometimes he makes me laugh!
So, we are at relatives at Christmas and we spend a lovely day and open all of our packages together. I got a slew of cool kitchen gadgets and a beautiful bread maker – I am all excited.
Everybody got cool stuff but I just really want to tell you my bread story.
When we get home I am rushing into the house with my arms full.
There are only 3 steps to go up and I am excited and I am hurrying and I can’t see the steps and my big toe catches on the step and I go down. Down hard!
The step edge goes right across my shin bone and I’m rolling back and forth on the ground holding my leg repeating over and over ‘Please, don’t be broken. Please, don’t be broken’.
It worked because my leg wasn’t broken but I was laid up 6 weeks. I kid you not!

Evidently, when Ed was pursing his lips and nodding yes back before Christmas he must have liked the whole idea of making our own bread too.
I don’t even think it was two days after my fall before he had the breadmaker out and started a basic loaf.
That was over five months ago and I haven’t made any bread yet. Haven’t bought any either. Ed makes all of our bread. What a good idea I had.
So, to make a long story short, hahaha! … To continue, I wanted a different kind of roll for this vegetable sandwich that I was thinking of.
Something that would look good in a photo for the blog. We were at Costco and I mentioned it to Ed and he said, ‘I’ll make you some!’. Great!

Other Vegetable Sandwiches That You Really Should Make and I Think You’ll Like them a Lot!
This Cauliflower Po Boy Sandwich is one of those sandwiches that will surprise the heck out of you. It is amazingly delicious!
There are nine other sandwiches I want to show you and none of them are vegetable burgers. But I’ll restrain myself and just go for one more.
This one os the Loaded Chickpea Salad Sandwich. It’s become a classic!
Hi Owenna! I’d say the slices are about 1/4″ thick at the most. They are the layer on the very bottom on the bread. Cook until browned but not falling apart tender. You want to be able to handle them but still have them cooked.
How thick do you slice the sweet potatoes for this recipe. Do they need to be cooked until tender or just browned?
