BANH BANH DILLA!!

SANDWICHES!!!!!
yeah.
sandwiches, neighbors.
you know they're dope.
i know they're dope.
i want 'em, you want 'em,
we want 'em,
and guess what?
i GOT 'em, b.
yup.
and not just some sad sammie, either.
no way.
what do you think i am?
some kind of an A-hole?
c'mon.
i'm a sandwich wizard from the sarnie army, and i'm here to WIN at sandwiches.
do you know what sandwich is always a flawless victory?
hmm?
what's that?
YUP.
good guess- a mutha-'ucking BOMB BANH MI!!
mmmmmmmmmmm.
i doo-doo that freaky sh!t.
check the teleport:

BANH BANH DILLA OH MI OH MY!!!!
if you know, you know, yo.
the bread is important.
that's real.
then again, each individual component is essential.
without any one piece, the whole things comes up short.
the pickles? key.
the rice vinegar/pink salt/sugar pickled carrots and radishes? mandatory.
jalapeno rings and cilantro sprankles? rules is rules, fools.
you don't like coriander leaf, booboo? go get a bummer hoagie at the deli, then;
you're NOT invited to my submarine s'guini party.
dudes, i got spinach, red cabbage, red onion, and safe romaine on the bottom.
yeah.
greenery improves the scenery, and overall digestion, too.
uh-huh.
that's a LOT of stuff, but there's also AVO-F*ING-CADO!!
yum.   ...avocado makes the idea of pâté officially just for F*ing A*-holes.
that's right, i wrote it because i mean it.
coconut oil fried tofu? that's that sexxxy stuff. soft inside, with a crisssp skin.
expert.
and then vegenaise and sriracha, as well.
holy sh!t, you say?
well, yeah.
too much is the right amount.
f'real, tho-
get in there:

WORD.
the homemade bread was, as usual, the defining hottness.
that's a thing.
a. homemade tastes better.
b. good bread makes better people, AND sandwiches.
truth.
i thought i had some of that green sriracha.
i was mistaken.
i don't think i suffered overmuch without it, beyond the obvious XI-mas visual deficit.
eh.
i lived, and i ate, and i enjoyed.

BANH!
-
preheat your oven to 375℉
-
in your stand mixer, with a hook attached, combine:
1 cup flour;
1 tsp sea salt;
1 cup bread flour;
3 T vegan butter;
1 T fine cornmeal;
1 T fast-actin' yeast;
1 cup warm water-
knead it for 11 minutes,
rest it, covered, until doubled, divide into thirds, form sub roll shapes,
1/2 " apart, on a baking tray, and allow to rise for 30 minutes, again.
- i softened a few pats of vegan butter, and i spread 'em on top of the loaves-
which i then baked for 20-somethin' minutes, until golden.
guys, fresh bread is what you need.
the whole sandwich was elevated to art with a little pan-toasted and buttered big action.
for serious, this is the power move.

heroic hottness?
yeah, i'm about that life.
winter solstice?
i effs with that, too.
long drives in the rain?
i guess, if i've gotta.
today is the day, and it's ALL really happening-
that's the whole point;
never quiet, never soft.....
