BASIC COMPONENTS OF A SANDWICH

1. The Structure or Base – it is the part upon which the Ingredients are placed, consists of some form
of bread or dough produce that is whole or sliced.
5 2. Moistening Agent – is meant to bind the sandwich providing an improvement of both flavor and
texture. It acts as the protective layer between the filling and the structure, preventing the filling
from softening or wetting the bread.
3. The filling – consists of one or more ingredients that are stacked, layered or folded within or on
the structure to form the sandwich. The varieties of fillings should be carefully selected. The filling

combination of any of them.

jelly roll.
