Muffaletta Sando

Been a minute since my last A.P Bakery sandwich fix. As a certified fan, I went out of my way to their Newtown location just for this muffaletta, a nostalgic nod to the legendary A1 Canteen sandwich.

Sold by the quarter, the size felt just right. At first glance, I thought it looked smaller than expected, but it ended up being ideal — no overload here; just enough for a satisfying bite without that salt overload that leaves you parched for hours. I found myself savouring each layer — the mix of meats, some with a nice fat hit, stacked with marinated capsicum and pickles that brought just the right sweetness and tang. The bread was perfect: crusty on the outside, airy on the inside, holding all those rich layers together without getting soggy. Yet again, A.P. nails it. Perfect as a light snack or mini brekkie.
