Breakfast Toasts - Easy

Making toasts is as old as civilization itself. Even the ancient Egyptians burned stale bread. Today you can also prepare delicious, excellent, versatile breakfast snacks using an oven or toaster.

At first glance it seems that preparing a sandwich is a simple matter. However, in order to create something unusual, you must first correctly select all the components. To make breakfast not only tasty, but also healthy, pay attention to the following points:

• The selection of a scorcher.
• Preparing the basics.
• Stuffing for unsweetened sandwiches.
• Dressing for sweet toast.

Let's consider these points in more detail.

Bread selection

First of all, you need to decide what kind of a cakes for toast you like best. And we offer to get acquainted with the following options:

• Plain sandwich bread. White, rye or wheat - it does not matter, because from any soft bread for sandwiches always make excellent toasts. This type of scorcher is always cut, so the toasts will be the same.

Important! Do not forget that soft wheat bread is fried much faster than dense rye bread, so be careful not to burn the toast.

• Dense cereal bread is suitable for lovers of crisps. Pay attention to such dense types of scorcher: gray bread, bread from nine cereals, challah, long loaf, baguette or French loaf.

Important! To simplify your task, choosing the option of what you can do in the toaster, take into account the following tips:

• Whenever possible, choose chopped bread in the store. Cutting bread into identical pieces yourself is quite difficult. But if you are engaged in cutting a pinewood at home yourself, then use a special knife for this purpose. Try to make slices 2 cm thick - such sandwiches will be quite thick and will fit in the toaster.
• For toast, you can use old stale bread. If the baking has become stale, then fry it. A toaster is able to breathe new life into such bread. By the way, bread 2-3 days ago is even more healthy than fresh. Especially if it is whole-grain or a palyanitsa with bran.

Foundation preparation

So, you have chosen the bread for the sandwich, now it's time to start preparing the basis. Bread can be dried in a toaster, toasted in a pan, in the oven or on fire.

Preparing the basics in a toaster

Before turning on the appliance, prepare the bread. Cut it in such a way that the pieces are not too thick and not too wide, otherwise the toaster will be full and the edges of the roasting pan will burn.

Then proceed as follows:

1. Carefully place the prepared slices of bread in the holes of the toaster.If the bread does not fit in the hole, then cut it around the edges. Be sure to make sure that the slices do not touch the heating coils of the device.
2. Adjust the toaster to the desired color of bread. Adjust the lever higher or lower, depending on the type and thickness of the bread, as well as your preference. You can choose brown and crispy toast, or you can cook softer. If you are not sure of your desires, then set the handle to the lowest level, and then go to higher temperatures if the toast seems too pale.
3. Lower the button to fry the pastries.
4. After the end of the cycle, pull out the toast that appears.

Toasting in the oven

To evenly bake bread, put it in the oven with convection mode:

1. Spread flat slices of baking on a baking sheet, in a skillet, or directly on the oven rack.
2. Set the stand to the highest position.
3. Turn on the highest possible temperature and minimum time.
4. Keep an eye on the product so that it does not burn.
5. Turn the bread over with tongs to fry both sides of the toast.
6. Remove the toasts from the oven.

Important! It is most effective to use the grill in the oven to prepare the basis of the sandwich, which, with less waste of energy, will quickly move the product closer to the heat source. However, remember that grilled toast will grill much faster, so take it out as soon as it turns brown and crispy. Otherwise - in a minute the toast will turn black.

Cooking toast in a skillet

You can cook uniformly roasted pallitz in a cast-iron pan without using oil (even to lubricate the surface of the dishes). Just put slices of bread in a dry pan and let them fry in high heat.

If you want to add butter before frying, then use a small amount of butter or sunflower oil, then the crust of bread will be golden and crispy.

Important! This option is called "Texas Toast." When making toasts, remember to turn them over regularly using tongs or a spatula.

Toasting on fire

For an open fire, use the grill - throw some bread or rolls on the device and let, smoke and heat, make them crispy.

Important! As an option - you can use the grill after it prepared sausages or hamburgers. In this case, the pastries will absorb meat flavors and your march breakfast will be even tastier.

Advice:
