How To Make Toast

Arguably the greatest thing since sliced bread, today’s toast recipe is guaranteed to earn a spot in your recipe repertoire after your very first bite. The perfect recipe for golden-brown toast eluded me for years, but after weeks of trial and error I have finally developed the world’s most perfect recipe for homemade toast. For those of you who are intimidated by the thought of making homemade toast for the very first time, don’t stress! I’ve included a step-by-step how-to video below the recipe!

OK, So What Do I Need?

Your ingredient and equipment list is actually not nearly as extensive as you might think. You need the following:

Bread. No substitutions, please. Now would be a great time to make my bread recipe that I just shared. A Toaster. Please note that I have tried this recipe without a toaster and it has never been successful unless made with a verified toaster. I have attempted to toast bread using a curling iron, boiling water, a KitchenAid mixer, and by stomping on it repeatedly (among other things) and none of these trials yielded the desired toasty results. Butter. Please do not argue with me on this.

Anyone who tries to tell you that you need anything else is just trying to sell you something.

I have my ingredients. Now what?

Once you have gathered your ingredients the fun can begin. If this is your first time making toast I strongly recommend that you first watch the how-to video (below the recipe). Now here’s how you turn that horribly soft bread into a nice toasty slice: Please note that this is how to make classic American toast. If you are looking for something more exotic, please see my French Toast recipe.

I hope you enjoy today’s perfect toast recipe, and Happy April 1st!
