Flavor Notes: Milky, nutty, subtle malty undertones
Crumb: Soft, tender, lightly bouncy
Perfect for: After-school PB&J, pork katsu sandwich, or a Muenster, lettuce & tomato stack
Ingredients & Sourcing: Carolina Ground NuEast Hard Red Winter Wheat
Why this bread:
It was the spring of 2013: I was in the eighth grade, my mom was teaching in grad school, and she had several others in addition to me. In that kind of world, when you find a food that your kid likes, that is your raft and you better not let go till the tide takes you home.
The two of us (being vegetarians) happened upon this sandwich combination one day and it became the entire spring of my 13 year old life; I loved it so much that I can never eat it again. BUT when I tried this bread for the first time, it made me think it would be the perfect canvas for my old sandwich.
The sandwich goes like this:
Toasted bread
Ranch
Lettuce
Tomato
Muenster cheese
A little more ranch
Toasted bread
About the grain:
NuEast, conceived at NC State in 2009, was bred to bring hard winter wheat to the Southeast. Traditionally, the Mid-Atlantic South grew soft wheats (lower protein, best for crackers, noodles, cakes). With the resurgence of artisan bakers, hard wheats like NuEast have taken root, offering strength for bread while holding onto regional flavor.
