You're making sandwiches WRONG! Why you should never leave a 'hinge'

"A hinge often causes fillings to bunch, slide, or tear through the connected side. Instead, he suggests cutting your baguette or bread roll all the way through to create a better base and keep the fillings more evenly distributed. Doing so can actually make every bite taste better, he claims."

"Slicing your bread - whether it be a roll, a baguette or a sub - fully through the middle allows the bread to compress evenly and hold its shape better bite after bite. 'Cutting fully through your sandwich bread instead of leaving a hinge creates a cleaner, more even structure,' he said."

"'This distributes pressure across the entire sandwich rather than forcing one side to bear all the tension. 'It also improves the overall structural integrity of the sandwich by letting each half support the fillings independently, resulting in a more balanced build and cleaner eating experience.'"

Leaving a hinge when cutting bread can cause fillings to bunch, slide, or tear through the connected side. Cutting a baguette, roll, or sub fully through the middle lets the bread compress evenly and hold its shape bite after bite. This creates a cleaner, more even structure by distributing pressure across the entire sandwich instead of forcing one side to bear tension. Each half can support the fillings independently, improving structural integrity and producing a more balanced build and cleaner eating experience. Cutting fully through also helps achieve a cleaner bread-to-filling ratio. Bread should be neither too soft nor too tough, and thicker bread supports more generous filling amounts.
