main ingredients and substitutes for caprese sandwich:
bread: you can use any bread of your choice, but make sure to use toasted bread for the best, crunchy texture. You may use sourdough bread, artisan bread, frech bread etc but here I just used plain white sandwich bread that is toasted which works great as well.

I had homemade caprese salad which I used in this recipe. But you can use fresh ingredients to quickly make the salad to use as the fillings.
