When you have the nerve to call something the ultimate anything, it’s got to be pretty special right?  And this Ultimate Vegan Sandwich IS indeed pretty special.

We start with a very simple home made bread – no yeast and no proving, just one bowl and 30 minutes bake time.

I’ve flavoured it with Kombucha which gives a lovely deep, almost malty, flavour.  A great base from which to build our ultimate vegan sandwich.

Then we build our layers of flavour.  Roast the tomatoes right along side your freshly baked bread – roasting them with a little red wine gives them an even sweeter, more tomatoey flavour.  If you’re worried about opening a bottle of wine just for a splash to roast some tomatoes I buy the small, 1 glass bottles and anything I don’t use I freeze in ice cube trays.  It’s not something you could probably drink as a glass of wine after but it’s a great way to keep any leftover wine and then just drop in sauces and stews!

Then we have the wonderful New Roots vegan cheese – specifically their Camembert.  It’s light, creamy and full of cheesy flavour to perfectly off set the tomatoes.  Then add some grated carrot for crunch, a sprinkle of fresh herbs and some smooth as silk sliced avocado.  I also spread the bread with just a schmear (technical term) of Dijon mustard.  Wholegrain mustard would be just as yummy, or even a little vegan pesto, creamy horseradish, vegan mayonnaise or onion relish.  Because if you’re going to call a sandwich the Ultimate Vegan Sandwich you’ve got to push the envelope a little right? ?

Ultimate Vegan Sandwich

prep: 20 mins / cook: 30 mins / inactive: 0 mins / total: 50 mins / quantity: 4 sandwiches

Ingredients

Bread:

  • 2 cups (280g) wholemeal flour
  • 1 + 1/2 tblsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (115ml) kombucha (we love Remedy Kombucha)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) almond milk
  • 2 tblsp olive oil

Roast Tomatoes:

  • 1 cup (160g) cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) vegan red wine
  • 1/4 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • pinch sea salt

Filling:

  • Mustard of choice or dairy free spread
  • 1 avocado – peeled, stone removed and sliced
  • 1 x New Roots Camembert Vegan Cheese – sliced
  • 1 small carrot – finely grated
  • 4 tsp snipped fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Start with the bread - preheat your oven to 180 Fan / 200 C / 400 F / Gas 6 and grease and dust with flour a loaf tin 3 x 9 inches (7 + 1/2 x 23 cm)
  2. In a large bowl put the flour, coconut sugar, bicarb and salt and stir together
  3. Add the kombucha, almond milk and olive oil and mix to form a dough. Tip out onto a lightly floured work surface and using your hands shape into a log, roughly the length of your tin
  4. Bake for 30 minutes until firm and lightly golden. If you're unsure it it's cooked tap the bottom of the loaf - if it's cooked it will sound hollow, otherwise return to the oven until it's cooked through
  5. While that's baking, toss together all the ingredients for the roast tomatoes and tip into a baking dish and cook for 20 minutes until the tomatoes have burst slightly
  6. Remove the bread and tomatoes from the oven and allow to cool 5-10 minute before building your Ultimate Vegan Sandwich!
  7. Thickly slice the bread into 8 slices and spread with mustard or spread of choice
  8. Lay the sliced avocado on 4 of the slices of bread, top with sliced cheese, then the grated carrot. Top with some of the roasted tomatoes, a sprinkle of chopped chives then finally top with the remaining slices of bread
  9. Dig in and enjoy!
