This sandwich loaf was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would use less olive oil next time.

I'm not a big fan of pesto, but I really enjoyed this sandwich loaf. The roasted vegetables added a nice sweetness that balanced out the pesto.

I found this sandwich loaf to be a bit bland. The pesto and roasted vegetables didn't really add much flavor. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

The pesto and roasted vegetable sandwich loaf was a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would add more pesto or roasted vegetables next time.
