Fairy Bread Recipe
Sharing our version of fairy bread with a recipe that’s just as fun and easy to make as it looks!
You know us well enough by now to know that we’re sold on anything called fairy bread.
Admittedly, the name can, however, scare off husbands and teenagers.
And by scaring off, we mean they may suffer a little hazing once they unpack their lunch to find a rainbow treat.
Everyone else will love it though, including you, since this is the easiest sandwich ever!
We are sharing our favorite fairy bread recipe that is bound to be a conversation starter…
What is Fairy Bread?
Fairy bread is a popular snack from Australia and New Zealand that is commonly served at birthday parties.
The traditional fairy bread recipe uses just three ingredients: bread, butter, and sprinkles. This buttered bread dish is typically cut in different shapes.
The origin of its name is unknown.
Some people speculate that it came from the poem “Fairy Bread” by Robert Louis Stevenson in his “A Child’s Garden of Verses,” published in 1885.
But we really think the rainbow sprinkles are the reason why for its name!
Alternatively, here are a few sweet breakfast recipes that we recommend.
Ingredients and Tools Needed to Make My Version of Fairy Bread
And as much as we love butter, we put our own twist on an Australian food favorite.
So instead of white bread spread with butter, we opted to make an actual sandwich.
Though it may be sacrilegious to change up Australian fairy bread, who doesn’t love a peanut butter sandwich?!?

How to Make Peanut Butter Fairy Bread Sandwich
Step 1 – To make my version, spread peanut butter on the bottom slice.
Step 2 – Add a dash of honey to the bottom slice.
Step 3 – Dust in a layer of sprinkles.
Step 4 – Then place a cookie cutter down on the top slice of bread to get your desired cutout shape. Press down firmly and remove the cutout.
Step 5 – Sandwich the cut slice on top of the bottom slice.
