THERE'S nothing worse than making a sandwich for your lunch, and finding that the bread's all soggy when it comes to eating it.

But there are some things you can do to stop that from happening.

And, according to one food expert at Oola.com, one method is as simple as including an extra step in your preparation process.

"If you lightly coat the inside of each slice of bread with a small bit of olive oil, it will knock out all liquids that try to enter and make it soggy," the pro said.

"Just be sure not use too much oil because it could make your sandwich greasy."

If you aren't a fan of olive oil, you can use butter in the same way.

"Brushing a thin layer of melted and cooled butter on the inside of each slice of bread will keep it fresh while providing extra flavour," they said.

And condiments can also be helpful to prevent your bread from getting all soggy.

But instead of putting your mayonnaise, pesto, hummus or whatever you want to use, straight onto your bread, put it on the meat or cheese that you're using as the basis of your sandwich and then put those on the bread.

"This will also help to keep the ingredients from slipping off when you are eating your sandwich," the expert said.

"Warm ingredients will create condensation that the bread will absorb, making it soggy," the pro said.

"Instead, use cold or room-temperature ingredients to make sure your sandwich will keep — especially if you are making it in the morning and saving it for lunch."
