How to Cut Bread with Cookie Cutters

Make lunch fun by putting shaped sandwiches into a lunchbox. Cut bread with cookie cutters and use the shapes to make sandwiches, regular or French toast or large croutons to float in a bowl of soup. Using cookie cutters for sandwiches also gives you a quick way to remove the crusts from the bread. Save trimmings from your bread for feeding birds or for making homemade breadcrumbs.

Things You'll Need

• Sliced bread
• Cookie cutters
• Sandwich filings (optional)

Instructions

1. Place a single slice of bread onto a plate. Toast the bread before cutting if desired.

2. Center the cookie cutter over the bread slice and press down.

3. Pull off all the bread around the outside of the cookie cutter.

4. Pick up the cookie cutter, leaving behind the shaped slice of bread.

5. Make a shaped sandwich with cookie cutters by preparing the sandwich with whole slices of bread as usual. Place the sandwich onto a plate and repeat Steps 2 through 4, pushing the cookie cutter all the way through the sandwich.
