Another reason I love making home- baked bread is it can offer more nutrients and less additives than manufactured breads on the market, in other words I know exactly what's going in our bread and into our stomach. And although it takes time, love and patience the taste and nutritional impact makes all the effort so worth it.
My kids hate sandwiches, I actually remember saying the same thing to my mum when I was at school. I was buying fresh rolls from the bakery and from Subway just so they would eat lunch, and it was costing me a small fortune. I came across this recipe to make my own version of Subway Rolls. They were a huge hit with the kids, healthy and not to mention cheaper.

You could use the same concept and roll them into sausage shape logs, sprinkle topping on top and place on a baking tray.https://www.taste.com.au/recipes/basic-white-bread/4f201725-a057-4c56-ab37-8146dd95567b
Most weekends and school holidays I set up a little "Subway" on the bench and they get to choose what they would like in their roll and I always ask would they like it fresh or toasted? I always get a little giggle out of them lol.
I brought the baguette tray from here. https://www.tm-essentials.com.au/products/silicone-fibreglass-reinforced-baguette-tray
