Hot Dog Bun Sub     Print this Recipe

Comments

This is not just any sub because of the choice of bread. Staying away from bland white Italian breads for subs and choosing this high fiber nutrient-packed Sprouted Alvarado Street Bakery hot dog bun makes a huge healthy difference. And, it is smaller than most sub breads making it easier for kids to eat. You can fill it with any combination of meats, cheese and vegetables to customize it to what’s in your refrigerator and your kids’ tastes. Yes, the Kid Kritics thought this hot dog bun was “awesome.’ Here are a couple of their comments, "Best in the whole entire universe…Thought it was a delicious masterpiece!”  Serve it to your kids!!
