Categories     main-dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 main-course servings.

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 slices white bread
3/4 cup mayonnaise
8 romaine lettuce leaves
16 slices vine-ripened tomatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
16 slices crispy cooked bacon
16 ounces sliced roasted turkey
16 frill picks, or plastic cocktail swords
Potato chips
Sweet pickles

Steps:

  • Toast the bread in a toaster, or under a broiler on both sides. Cut the lettuce leaves in half crosswise and form into 8 neat stacks.
  • To make a double-decker club: On a clean work surface, arrange 3 bread slices in a row. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise over 1 side of each bread slice. Place a lettuce stack on top of the first bread slice, top with 2 tomato slices, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place 2 slices bacon over the tomatoes (broken to fit neatly if necessary) and top with 1/8 of the turkey (without letting any hang over the sides). Season the turkey with salt and pepper, to taste. Repeat with the second bread slice. Carefully place the second layered bread slice on top of the first layered bread, turkey side-up. Cover with the third bread slice, mayonnaise side-down.
  • Pin the sandwich's layers together by piercing them with 4 frill picks or cocktail swords through the top bread slice, in 4 places in a diamond-like pattern, all the way to the bottom bread slice. Repeat entire process with the remaining ingredients to form 3 more sandwiches.
  • Using a serrated knife cut each sandwich, diagonally, into 4 triangular pieces (each piece should be secured in the center with a pick or sword). Serve with potato chips and pickles.

CLASSIC CLUB SANDWICHES



Classic Club Sandwiches image

I love Club Sandwiches and came up with this one afternoon using DH's favorite sandwich ingredients which are Turkey, Bacon and Swiss Cheese. He declared it delicious! :) The technique is not hard as long as you get your ingredients together and create an assembly line. Use a good sharp serated knife to easily cut these into bite size triangles.

KITTENCAL'S FAMOUS BARBECUE SAUCE FOR CHICKEN AND RIBS



Kittencal's Famous Barbecue Sauce for Chicken and Ribs image

This is the best barbecue sauce, and trust me I have experimented with hundreds of different combinations over the years, this is even better than any of the popular bottled sauces! ---plan ahead this sauce must be made one day in advance to allow the flavors to blend and intensify, don't even think about using it the same day it is made, this sauce will take on a whole different flavor when simmered for 1 hour and left overnight in the fridge--- the ingredients can easily be doubled but keep the garlic amount no more than 2 tablespoons, and for the best flavor use only Heinz ketchup and a good quality brand of yellow mustard, I use French's mustard it really will make a difference in the taste, please do not omit the liquid smoke --- yield is only estimated as the sauce will reduce after simmering for 1 hour or more ---*NOTE* for a smoother low fat sauce omit the oil, onion and fresh garlic, then in the saucepan mix all remaining ingredients together and add in 1 teaspoon each garlic powder and onion powder then simmer for 1 hour -----you will love this sauce!

KITTENCAL'S SUB/SANDWICH BUNS



Kittencal's Sub/Sandwich Buns image

This dough is an absolute pleasure to work with, it makes the best sub buns but of coarse you can use this dough for whatever you like, this dough also freezes well after the first rise and the baked buns also freeze well --- I like to add in 1 teaspoon malt powder to the flour mixture but that is only optional, it works with the yeast to improve flavor and texture of the dough and also improves the flavor somewhat.

Provided by Kittencalrecipezazz

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h25m

Yield 6 large buns

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons dry yeast (use 2 tablespoons yeast, even 1-3/4 tbsp will do fine)
1/4 cup Crisco shortening, melted
1 cup full-fat milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (can reduce to 1 teaspoon)
3 tablespoons sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour (more as needed)

Steps:

  • Prepare a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with a kneader attachment.
  • Place about 3-1/2 cups flour in the bowl.
  • Melt the shortening in the microwave; add to the bowl with the flour.
  • In a measuring cup, measure out 1 cup milk, then add in 4 tablespoons sugar and the salt; heat until quite warm in the microwave, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt.
  • Pour the milk into the bowl with the melted shortening and flour; cover the bowl with a towel to keep ingredients warm.
  • Proof the yeast in a 3/4 cup warm water with 1 teaspoon sugar for about 8-10 minutes or until foamy.
  • After proofing, add to the bowl and start kneading for about 3-4 minutes, then add in more flour as needed to create a soft semi-sticky dough, knead about 8 more minutes until smooth.
  • Place the dough on a very lightly floured counter or board; let rest for 5-10 minutes, covered with a clean tea towel.
  • Grease a large bowl, then place the dough into bowl to rise in a warm place for about 50-60 minutes (because of the amount of yeast, the dough should take a shorter rising time in a warm place).
  • Punch down dough.
  • Cut into pieces (I usually cut into 6 pieces), and shape large balls.
  • Let dough balls rest for about 4 minutes (or just enough time to make shaping easier).
  • Shape the dough into desired length for buns.
  • Sprinkle a large cookie/baking sheet with cornmeal, or lightly grease with cooking spray.
  • Place the long pieces of dough on a baking sheet (shape once again if you need to).
  • Cover and let rise for about 25 minutes, or until doubled.
  • Set oven to 375 degrees.
  • Bake for about 22-25 minutes, or until dark golden brown.
  • If desired after the second rising and just before baking, beat one egg white with 1 teaspoon cold water, then brush on buns and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • Use thick, sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings and won't get soggy.
  • Spread mayonnaise on both sides of the bread to help keep it moist and prevent the fillings from sticking to the bread.
  • Don't be afraid to pile on the fillings! A classic club sandwich should be hearty and filling.
  • If you're using a toaster oven to grill the sandwich, keep a close eye on it to prevent the bread from burning.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately with your favorite sides, such as chips, pickles, or coleslaw.

Conclusion:

The classic club sandwich is a delicious and hearty sandwich that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. With its layers of flavorful fillings, it's sure to satisfy everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a classic sandwich recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
