Russian Sandwich

Cut the bread rounds up to 4 hours ahead and store between lightly dampened paper towels in an airtight container to prevent drying. Do not assemble more than 30 minutes before serving, as moisture from fillings will soften the bread and compromise structure.

This sandwich is best consumed immediately after assembly. If necessary, assembled sandwiches can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours, covered loosely with plastic wrap. The bread will soften considerably and the presentation will deteriorate over time. Not recommended for longer storage.
