  NWsource: Venue review - Seattle Deli
A banh mi (which is simply Vietnamese for "bread") consists of a short baguette slit lengthwise and stuffed with some type of meat (or occasionally fish or tofu), pickled vegetables, hot peppers, mayonnaise and cilantro.
With half a dozen banh mi on the menu, Seattle Deli may not have the biggest variety in town, but their sandwiches are among the best.
Banh mi thit nuong (2): Thin slices of pork in a fish-sauce-based marinade are roasted until crisp around the edges and stuffed into a baguette with house-made mayonnaise, lightly pickled carrot, daikon, cucumber, jalapeño slices and cilantro (everything except the roast pork also appears on the other banh mi).

 The Foppish Baker: Vietnamese Bánh Mì Gà
I've never had a banh mi in a restaurant, my only experience with Vietnamese food at all is from one restaurant in town (though I do like to make my "faux pho" from time to time) and I'm not all that confident about the authenticity of the recipes I've used to make this.
My second problem was that I wasn't used to working with such a sticky dough and added too much flour to compensate and turn it into something more like the baguette recipes I was used to.
My main goal is to be able to bake a really good loaf of bread with no instructions, but I'll be baking a lot of other treats along the way, and will not neglect my cooking either.

Banh mi (which means "French sandwich" in Vietnamese) are an all-day snack, suitable for breakfast and late night alike.
A banh mi is such a simple thing: French rolls spread thickly with butter or a sweet mayonnaise, then stuffed your choice of grilled, curried, or steamed meats.
My favorite discovery, though, was the barbecued bacon sandwich, shavings of unctuous roasted pork belly brushed with a sugary red glaze.

 eG Forums -> Baguette for Banh Mi
My recollection is that the rice flour is very low gluten so the dough is really sticky and needs lots of kneading.
But before I discovered bahn mi, I was even a bigger fan of those rolls they use for the bahn mi because it reminded me of the breakfast rolls we have where I came from (the Philippines).
My guess is the dough is a little overproved, hence its wetness and less oven spring, although the width of the grigne (Slashes) indicate there is plenty.
