It’s a Bread Lover’s Simple Tuna Salad Sandwich
It’s more about the crusty, spongy in the middle, toasty seeds on top, breads than anything I put on my homemade sandwiches. I’m a bread lover not a bread baker and my toppings are simple, like my simple tuna salad with truckloads of crunch from diced celery.
We hit the road this weekend to New Ulm, Minnesota for a girls hockey tournament. It’s one of the few towns within hours of us that I know still has a small-town bakery. Like the town’s streets, German history wafts from The Bäckerei & Coffee Shop’s ovens.
We bought dark buns brushed with a hint of butter and a sprinkle of salt. We ate them before we left town. The other one, pictured at top, was called “something in German that I don’t remember,” and “they are like an onion bread.” Whatever it is, a crunchy tuna salad goes perfect right on top of it. (And yes, it really was orange.)
Even though you likely have your own favorite tuna salad recipe, it’s a good reminder to stop and smell the fresh bread once in a while. Bring a loaf home and make yourself a special sandwich.
Other sandwiches you want good bread for are Smoky Egg Salad Croissant, Ham and Swiss Melt with Crispy Fried Salami and Jalapeño Jack, and Grilled Turkey Cheddar and Bacon.
Sweet wishes,

I stumbled upon your blog and couldn’t believe it when I saw a picture of The Backerei. This is my parent’s bakery- small world! 🙂
Hi Jessica! It IS a small world – that is really neat. I’ve been to their bakery twice. My sister is the one who showed it to me the first time. We enjoy the variety of baked goods and the breads. I especially love those mini angel food cakes – the perfect size for my grandma. I’m so glad you stumbled here and I hope you stop by often. 🙂 Staci
That tuna sandwich looks really good!
