Instructions

  1. 1Using a very sharp knife, cut the fresh bread into thin slices while it is still slightly warm. This makes it easier to roll.
  2. 2Spread the softened butter evenly on each slice of bread. Make sure the butter is creamed for easy spreading.
  3. 3Roll each slice of buttered bread separately. If desired, tie each roll with a piece of baby ribbon to secure it and add a decorative touch.
  4. 4For Bread and Butter Folds, remove the end slice from the bread loaf. Spread the end of the loaf sparingly and evenly with creamed butter. Cut off thin slices. Remove the crusts. Put the slices together in pairs and cut into squares, oblongs, or triangles.
  5. 5For Lettuce Sandwiches, prepare the bread as for Bread and Butter Folds. Wash and thoroughly dry fresh, crisp lettuce leaves. Place the lettuce leaves between thin slices of buttered bread, having a teaspoon of mayonnaise on each leaf.
