{Food for Thought}
The original recipe called for regular whole wheat bread but I bought some fresh bread at Publix, some type of sour dough 5 grain bread & I wouldn't change a thing. You want something a little bigger than whole wheat & a little more special. As for the special sauce, I would recommend doubling it if you're like me & like to spread a bit on both sides.
