Ingredients

2 thick slices tomato basil bread
2 tablespoons mayonnaise or signature sauce (recipe below)
4 ounces thinly sliced, smoked turkey
2 slices Gouda cheese
2 slices crispy smoked bacon
2 leaves green leaf lettuce
2 thin tomato slices

Panera Signature Sauce

0.5 cup mayonnaise
.25 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
0.5 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
.25 teaspoon dry mustard powder
hot sauce to taste

Instructions

If you purchase your tomato basil bread from Panera, have them slice it for you. If you make your own, slice your bread in 1/2-inch slices and spread with mayonnaise, or signature sauce
Spread mayonnaise or signature sauce over the sliced bread. Top with sliced turkey, two slices of Gouda, and two slices of crispy bacon.
Then top with two leaves of green leaf lettuce, and two tomato slices. Slice and serve.

How to make signature sauce

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use.

Notes

Everyone knows this sandwich by the tomato basil bread, but sourdough and ciabatta are delicious as well.
Each brand slices their Gouda differently. In Iowa I would use one large slice, here in Arizona I have to use two small slices. Use as many as you like!
No, the top of my bread is not burnt. I tried to get that sticky, sweet tomato crust by brushing the loaf with a tomato/oil/water combination….but it didn’t work out the way I planned. I have since perfected the recipe to avoid this problem.
