Ding! You hear the noise and your heart leaps. The smell is next, as you walk into the kitchen, that beautiful mix of dough and charcoal that signals it’s done. You walk over to your toaster and pull out a piece of brilliantly toasted toast. You bite into it and the delight of the crunch is only beaten by the warm, slightly burnt taste that envelops your tastebuds.
But what type of bread did you toast? A piece of half and half with a combination of burnt and lightly done sides? Or a slice of white bread heated for the bare minimum for it to be considered warm bread? Or even a slice of wholemeal burnt to a crisp? Well, whichever you choose, we have the bread type and toast-making appliance for you.
Of course, bread isn’t the only thing you can toast. Cut a bagel in two to get a delicious alternative or even toast some crumpets for a fluffy treat.
And while plain toast can be a fantastic treat, most of the time you’ll want to lather your toast with something. Melt some butter onto the toast for a classic, creamy taste. Or coat your toast with some jam, be it strawberry, raspberry, apricot or something else, for a sweet treat.
