Thank you my friend!
Sure, here we go: Bauru is the most famous brazilian sandwich. It's currently considered a cultural patrimony of the state of São Paulo. But there are people trying to elevate it to national or international patrimony.
Bauru IMO is the perfect sandwich, because it has so many contrasts: of textures, flavors and temperatures. It's so simple, but mindblowing.
First you have the bread, which is some kind of a french baguette but smaller (here we call it pão francês, which means french bread). It's crispy and crunchy on the outside, and soft inside. Yout cut it lenghtwise and add slices of perfectly cooked (hopefully pink) roastbeef (from the top round) to the bottom part of the bread. A few slices of a good tomato (it must be firm, a little bit green and acidic) and a few slices of bread & butter pickles. You then must remove the soft interior from the top part of the bread so it looks like a canoe. And to finish you melt slices of cheese (here we use mozzarella or another soft cheese) directly in a waterbath (around 68ºC) and you take this gooey deliciousness and put it in your canoe of bread and that's pretty much it.
Important notes:
*Roastbeef must not be hot, you should treat it like a deli product, and this way you can ensure the temperature contrast.
*Flavor contrasts: acidic from pickles and tomato x richness/fat from cheese
*Texture contrasts: crispy, crunchy from the bread and pickles x soft gooey from the cheese and roastbeef
