Talking About Bakeries

Posted on: 4 January 2021

If you're a parent who prepares school lunches for your children, you're well aware of the challenges that are present in this daily task. You want to provide healthy lunches while also offering fare that is appealing for your kids. The sandwich is the staple of the school lunch, and there are many different ways that you can proceed. Instead of using conventional sandwich bread every day of the week, one alternative is to occasionally buy a package of kaiser buns from your local bakery. They work well with all sorts of sandwiches — peanut butter and jelly, ham and cheese, and more — and are a good choice for the following reasons.

They're More Filling

Regardless of the type of sandwich you're making for your child's lunch, you want it to be filling. While other elements in the lunch can also help your child to feel satiated for the afternoon, the sandwich is generally the star attraction. There's little doubt that a kaiser bun can be more filling than two pieces of sandwich bread. If you have a child who has a big appetite and who doesn't feel satisfied after eating a sandwich on bread, replacing the bread with a kaiser bun can be a good idea.

They Can Seem Special

Many parents enjoy the idea of surprising their children with special items in their school lunches. Even if a child likes the taste of a sandwich on bread, they may feel as though the bread is a little mundane — especially if they've had the same type of bread for weeks or even months at a time. When you build your children's sandwiches on kaiser buns instead, this can be a special surprise for the kids. Even giving your children sandwiches on kaiser buns one or two days a week can be something that your kids look forward to.

They Hold Up Longer

Another reason to consider kaiser buns for your children's school lunches is that they'll often hold up longer than bread. Sandwich fillings can quickly soak through a slice of soft bread, making it unappetizing. For example, this can easily occur with jelly, while wet ingredients such as lettuce can also result in this problem. Several hours can pass between you making the sandwich and the child eating it, and you want the sandwich to be fit to eat by the time lunch hour arrives. The crusty exterior of a kaiser roll resists moist sandwich fillings better than a soft slice of bread, increasing the likelihood that your children's sandwiches will be appealing at lunchtime.
