Child page in custom post throws 404 page not found

It turns out the WordPress permalink structure works perfectly well for custom types, e.g. example.com/recipes/lunch/sandwich/. This works exactly as expected if you set ‘hierarchical’ => true.

What I was originally trying to do was unnecessarily difficult to execute, and requires properly setting up a custom permalink structure to avoid 404 errors. I advise you stick with the standard WordPress hierarchical permalink functionality.
