Notes

Do all steps at once for each piece for ease of assembly. Can be frozen but not refrigerated. Refrigeration dries out bread where freezing it preserves it properly. For ease and convenience, you can always use a good sandwich bread that has been lightly toasted. Do not toast if mouth sores are present.
