Cooking At Home: My Hero
My college-aged son was the first in our house to discover the famous TikTok grinder sandwich last summer. It's a sandwich a kid like him dreams of. It's fast becoming one of his most requested recipes when he's home from school. My husband, Jerry, and I love it on Vikings game days, too.
Everyone on the net insisted it was the "salad" topping that was the key to the grinder's appeal. In my mind, however, a sandwich is defined by one thing above all else: the bread it's made on.
Crusty on the outside and pillowy-soft on the inside, Kowalski's Hand-Rolled Artisan French Loaf isn't your average French bread. Ours is a special recipe crafted in cooperation with one of my favorite local bakers, Kathie "The Church Lady" Armstrong. Mixed, formed and baked by hand in-store every day, this heavenly loaf is the stuff of bread lovers' dreams. It's easy to spot on the Artisan Bread Table with its signature parchment wrap that's tied (by hand, of course) with baker's twine. Frozen dough balls are also available in our Bake at Home Case so you can enjoy it fresh from the oven any time.
So as not to squish the bread's moist crumb, I recommend pulling out a little of the soft insides of the loaf to make room for the abundance of fillings in this hefty Classic Italian Grinder Sandwich.
Warmly,
Rachael
