Sandwich Loaf image

A festive way to serve party sandwiches. For baby and bridal showers, I add a bit of food coloring to match the theme and garnish the serving platter with fresh flowers. If you are making 2 loaves you can use one white and one wheat loaf and alternate the slices. The loaf can be made ahead of time. Posted by request.
