Look, I'm gonna level with y'all. I've been here a little over 24 hours and yet to find out what anyone's preferred sandwich is. As is known, sandwiches are the glue holding our society together, so this sad state cannot be allowed to continue.

In a short time, the juiciest of tomatoes will begin to drop off the vine here in the US, and the first, the finest, the primordial sandwich, the BLT proper, will grace us with its presence.

But until then, what are we to do? Slap undressed turkey on wheat? Like cavemen?? Tell me about your sandwiches. Inspire your fellow... fediverse...ians?

I make my own seitan, and the recipe is extensive so I won't list it here. But I do a thick layer of seitan on low-carb bread, a combination of vegan (violife provolone) and dairy (usually sharp cheddar, sometimes gouda or havarti) cheeses, and throw it open-face in an air fryer on the hottest fry setting like they do at subway. While eating it I add small dollops of a homemade sauce similar to chick-fil-a's. It's basically all I need. The seitan I make is phenomenal, and everything else compliments it so well. You don't really notice the bread is low carb when it's part of a sandwich, but it's higher fiber content is both healthy and helps it maintain structure.

I love seitan but local stores in my area do not carry it. How much of a time commitment to make a batch? How long does it last? I started making my own bread because all the bread here is dismal, might as well make something delicious to top it with.

I’ve made it before and it’s really easy! The hardest part is kneading the dough which takes ~10 minutes. It lasts for about a week in the fridge but you can freeze it too. The simplest version is just vital wheat gluten+water but you can add all sorts of flavoring and seasonings. If you want some more complicated but amazing ones, check out Gaz Oakley (avant-garde vegan).

Cool thanks! I'm going to give it a try. Honestly don't know why it never occurred to me to make it before. I've been eating way too many frozen over-processed chix patties.
