When you’re on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), it can feel like certain comfort foods are off-limits—especially sandwiches. But with Eat G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. mixes, you can bring back that satisfying, hold-in-your-hands, bite-into-something-hearty experience… without the grains, gluten, dairy, or inflammatory ingredients.
Today, we’re showing you how to take our Bread Mix (or even our Pancake & Waffle Mix) and turn it into the ultimate AIP-friendly sandwich—savory or sweet—your taste buds will thank you for.
Step 1: Bake the Perfect AIP Bread
Start with the right foundation. Our Bread Mix is soft yet sturdy enough to handle hearty fillings.
- Pro tip: Bake your loaf the day before and let it cool completely before slicing. This keeps it from crumbling and gives you clean, even slices.
- Want a hint of sweetness for breakfast or dessert sandwiches? Use our Pancake & Waffle Mix baked in a loaf pan for a tender, slightly sweet bread.
Step 2: Choose Your Flavor Direction—Savory or Sweet
The magic of AIP bread is how adaptable it is. Decide which way you want to go before gathering your fillings.
Savory Ideas:
- Sliced roasted turkey or chicken with crisp lettuce, cucumber, and AIP-friendly mayo
- Roasted veggies (think zucchini, sweet potato, and beets) layered with fresh basil and avocado mash
- Tuna salad with celery and fresh herbs
Sweet Ideas:
- Sliced strawberries with coconut yogurt and a drizzle of honey (if reintroduced)
- Sautéed apples with cinnamon and a swipe of coconut butter
- Blueberry chia jam with sliced banana
Step 3: Layer Like a Pro
- Spread first. Start with a base layer—avocado, coconut yogurt, or mayo—to create moisture and flavor.
- Alternate textures. Pair crunchy elements (like cucumbers or lettuce) with creamy ones (like avocado or yogurt) for that satisfying bite.
- Mind the moisture. If your fillings are wet (like sautéed veggies), pat them dry first so your bread stays intact.
Step 4: Press or Toast (Optional but Delicious)
For savory sandwiches, a gentle pan press can warm the bread and meld flavors. Sweet sandwiches can be lightly toasted for a warm, dessert-like treat.
Step 5: Pack & Enjoy
Your AIP sandwich is now portable, flavorful, and satisfying. Perfect for lunchboxes, road trips, or a quick snack between meals.
The Takeaway:
With Eat G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. mixes, the “sandwich is off-limits” days are over. Whether you crave something savory and hearty or light and sweet, our bread and pancake mixes make it possible—deliciously and AIP-compliantly.
