HOW TO MAKE BANH MI OR VIETNAMESE BAGUETTE

Banh Mi is one of the most flavorful sandwiches there is. It is a French-Vietnamese hybrid that draws its flavors from these two amazing cuisines.

This recipe is authentic and can be served warm or at room temp.

The history of the Banh Mi is fascinating and explains the French and Vietnam.

A BAHN MI SANDWICH IS LAYERED WITH FLAVOR

It starts with an airy baguette, lightly toasted, and is then loaded with cucumber, cilantro, cha lua (Vietnamese ham / pork roll), sweet and sour minced pork, salami, slaw of carrots and diakon radishes;, and pickled jalapenos.

The daikon radish, Chinese five-spice powder and Asian chili oil can easily be found in your local Asian food market. If you can’t find them, you can substitute regular radishes for the daikon, cumin for the five-spice powder, and any kind of chili oil for the oil.

Active dry or instant yeast will both work in this case; because we're blooming the yeast in the sponge portion of the dough, the type of dry yeast you use has no impact on the final product. Can I make this dough by hand? Technically, yes, but the stand mixer will truly make your life 100x easier for this recipe. Because of the extensive amount of mixing that's required to develop the gluten properly and the slow, gradual addition of butter, doing this by hand will result in a very long, very arduous process.
