Layered Bread Loaves

Layered Bread Loaves
order loaves of bread from a bakery (or bake yourself if you're
really ambitious). you can even ask them to make them in pastel
shades if you're so inclined. just ask them to slice the bread
horizontally for you … so you have about 5 or 6 long slices.
trim the crust and spread/stuff/fill with whatever you like. i've
used pate, cream cheese (again, tinted if you want) with chopped
olives, cherries, nuts, whatever … or you can use any one of the
prepared flavored cream cheeses in the supermarket. roll up,
fasten with toothpicks, wrap first in saran, then in foil (the
saran keeps the foil from getting stuck to the rolls), and freeze
for an hour or so. remove from the freezer an hour or so before
you're going to serve them and slice. you have pretty little
pinwheel-looking things.
