The original recipe stated that this makes 4 servings, but they would be huge. Also, since the amount of salt wasn't given, I used 1/4 teaspoon, but it could probably use slightly more. This is a little messy for a chicken salad sandwich, but works pretty well for a sandwhich made with lunchmeat. I tasted it with pastrami, Swiss cheese and mustard and it was kind of nice to have a sandwich you could eat with your hands. I also had the idea of adding a little caraway seed to make "rye bread" sometime. As it is, this "bread" has very little flavor at all, but I don't think it would make a very good peanut butter sandwich! Another idea might be to use this as a crust for making pizza. I would make the thinner version in a 9x13" pan for that.
