There is a lot of money to be made in sandwiches. Millions of people everyday make or buy a sandwich for their lunch as a quick and convenient meal. Fillings used to be simple, ham and cheese or chicken salad, but this has changes as our tastes have become more sophisticated. Brie, spicy chicken and hummus are now popular choices. We also expect a lot more from the bread that is used to cover these fillings.

French bread is the most popular bread variety for pre-packaged sandwiches and it is also used in pubs and cafes for those customers that eat-in. However it takes a lot of time to bake it fresh every day and can be expensive to buy already made for you. This is why it is so convenient that food service companies have begun to mass supply French bread of different lengths to the catering industry.

The companies will part bake and freeze the French bread.   All the caterer has to do is defrost the bread and then heat it up in the oven. You get flaky crusts and super soft insides this way. perfect for customers looking for traditional bread. You can have a large number of the sticks delivered and keep them frozen for a number of weeks. If the buyer does not have a constant number of customers, this is ideal because they do not have to buy fresh bread which might not get sold.

Having too much fresh bread that does not get sold would result in high levels of wastage. A poor deal for the environment and for the profits of the caterer. Frozen foods allow caterers to manage their stock levels and always have some spares in the freezer.

The food service companies save caterers a lot of time and money by selling them frozen French bread in large amounts. Other products include garlic baguettes and slices, naan breads and crumpets. And these have been proven to be popular through rigorous taste tests that the food service companies carry out.

French bread, when supplied in this way, provides excellent value for money and the ability to make a profit whilst supplying consumers with the quality sandwiches that they demand.
