I love sandwich bread. Ok, that’s not exactly true. I love grilled cheese sandwiches, which happens to use sandwich breads. I was really excited about this particular challenge because it was a win-win situation. I got to learn to make a whole wheat sandwich bread and got to eat a grilled cheese sandwich on top of it [yeah, yeah...i'm trying to eat healthier this year...but really, WHOLE WHEAT...and Dairy/Calcium. That's healthy, right? Don't tell me otherwise, I'm not listening].
So since I am trying to pretend like I’m eating healthier, I opted to make a gruyere and turkey sandwich on the whole wheat bread. I threw in some cranberries and some arugula from my garden. It made a great dinner!

Sure looks good to me – and I think you've got all the food groups covered, so yeah! Healthy! Mmmm… grilled cheeeezzzze (in best "Homer" voice)…
Your loaf is wonderful and being Grilled Cheese is one of my favorites, I bet it was delicious! Love the idea of arugula and cranberries and I think I might steal that idea! Oh yea!
the spinach should count for some healthy points. Nice looking sandwich.
Your bread looks so delicious! And grilled cheese sandwiches are definitely healthy…dairy, protein…all good stuff.
Grilled cheese is one of my favorite too, although your turkey with Gruyere sounds fabulous! Your loaf looks like it turned out great.

Mmm….grilled cheese. When the bread is healthy I feel a little less guility about the cheese part. What a classic flavor combination – just beautiful.
I tried to make whole wheat sandwich bread a couple weekends ago…didn't quite workout. Maybe I'll crack open my HB in 5 and give that recipe a try! Yours looks perfect!
