I mean... It entirely depends on the sandwich.
Like, rye is super good for most lunch meats and tuna; not so good for a PB&J.
For a savory sammy, I prefer the semi-hard loaves with cheese and herbs baked on the top. For a grilled cheese or PB&J, plain white bread is the best. And ryes also work good with the grilled cheese.
My favorite rye is Jewish. It's usually a thicker cut than the others.
I disagree about white bread, I enjoy whole wheat way more even for something like grilled cheese
Plain Wheat is just and dry and tastes dirty for me.
There are some good ones, but if we're talking basics.
Ciabatta was invented for sandwiches and is a great choice, but I prefer sliced sourdough for the crunchy crust and chewiness.
Criossanwiches disappoint because they’re almost always made with shitty grocery store croissants.
Ahahaha I feel attacked because I just did this. Didnt want to haul ass a the way to Costco today
You can't beat rye for most deli sandwiches. It's especially delicious toasted with pastrami, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and russian dressing.
A baguette. Like, the authentic French ones that go stale in a few hours.
If not ciabatta I'd go with rye probably, depending on the sandwich. But I fuckin love ciabatta.
Marble rye. Can't argue that.
hard to beat a good bagel... unless you're a pretzel roll
Pumpernickel. Even with jam.
Real bread. It can be very simple, yeast, sugar, salt, water, but most importantly some nice unbleached flour
So, homemade bread is best. Always. If you live in a civilized county it might be different, but if the bread wasn't prepared and baked today without preservatives... Do it yourself. It will be on another level
