Use a gluten-free bread that is soft enough to trim and slice cleanly for tea sandwiches.
Prepare the sandwiches on a clean gluten-free work surface with clean knives, bowls, spatulas, and cutting boards.
If serving guests with celiac disease, keep the gluten-free sandwiches separate from regular sandwiches to prevent cross-contact.
