How it works
Multiply guests by sandwiches per guest and round up to a whole sandwich. Each sandwich takes two slices of bread.
One and a half sandwiches per guest works for a lunch with other food. Use two when sandwiches are the main meal, and one when there are many side dishes.
Worked example
For 20 guests at 1.5 sandwiches each, make 30 sandwiches, which uses 60 slices of bread.
Questions
Does cutting them change the count?
No. Count whole sandwiches before you cut them, and the number stays the same however you serve them.
How many slices are in a loaf?
Most sandwich loaves have about 20 slices, but the number varies by brand, so check the bag before you shop.
Should I make a few extra?
A few extra cost little and keep the platter looking full. Wrap leftovers tightly and refrigerate them.
