❌ Problem: Crumbly Texture

✔ Add 1 extra egg
✔ Or add 1 tbsp psyllium husk (great binder for low-carb)

❌ Problem: Too Dense

✔ Don’t overmix
✔ Make sure baking powder is fresh

🥪 Making It Sandwich-Strong

For sturdy slices:

✔ Bake slightly longer (firm center)
✔ Cool 100% before slicing
✔ Refrigerate 1 hour before cutting
✔ Toast slices before filling
