At good bakeries, they will slice loaves of bread for you- as thin as you’d like. Or you can buy thin-sliced sandwich bread. I like to use whole grain bread for this recipe, but you can certainly use any variety that you’d like.
Note that nutritional information can vary greatly on this recipe depending on the bread you’re using and how many sandwiches you create. The nutritional info shared in the recipe below is based on each sandwich being cut in half. There will be fewer calories also because the crusts are cut off and discarded.

Instructions
