Three fun ways to zhuzh up your bread
Bread-based lunches are a staple that can sometimes get boring. Here are some fun ways to make them more exciting.
Finding fun ways to elevate your school lunches can be challenging, especially when your mornings are rushed. But there's something special in seeing your kids' lunch boxes come home empty.
It's a win for most parents, provided your child hasn't thrown their lunch out.
We have found some fun ways to jazz up lunches. Considering bread is the number one go-to for school lunches, we found creative ways to incorporate it into your lunch and even after-school snacks.
A terrific breakfast idea for your fussy eaters, transform regular toast into jam-filled toast.

@thefastfoodie.tv All you need is a spoon, a slice of bread and some jam (or jelly) to make this pretty flower toast. Press the spoon into the bread to make the petals, toast until golden and fill with strawberry jam (& lemon curd for the centre). #foodart #toastandjam #jam #snackhack #prettyfood ♬ original sound - music wings
Check out this cool idea for making grater pizza parcels. All you need is a grater, bread, an egg, cheese, and tomato sauce (not the condiment but the sauce made with tomatoes).

@thefastfoodie.tv Thought graters were just for grating?! This easy hack is SO good - watch until the end for the cheese pull! Just roll slices of bread onto the side of a grater, then carefully peel them off. Cut into rectangles using the bottom of the grater, fill with tomato sauce and cheese, then top with another piece. Seal the edges with a fork, brush with egg yolk, and bake until golden and crispy (about 8 minutes). Want a healthier version? Try wholewheat or sourdough bread and homemade tomato sauce. Crispy, cheesy, and way easier than it looks. #breadhack #innovativefood #easyrecipes #foodhack #pizzaideas #funsnackidea #fyp ♬ In The Kitchen - Giulio Cercato
This great snack idea can also be packed in your child's lunchbox. Crispy masher toasts are also made with bread, and we love how the potato masher creates a fun pattern on the bread. This adds a different element to food, and the texture and pattern make it fun for kids.
Watch how to make it from TikTok below.
@thefastfoodie.tv A potato smasher and a slice of bread is all you need to make these fun crispy toastie snacks. Press your masher into the bread to shape, toast until crispy and serve with your favourite dip. I went for melted chocolate sauce and cinnamon sugar - delicious! #foodhack #toasthack #snackhack #snackidea #creativefood #toast #bread #snackrecipe #fyp ♬ sonido original - Rafa
