Enjoy a unique twist on toasted bread with a toastas, soft on the outside and crispy on the inside. By toasting two slices of bread together and then flipping them, you create a delightful texture and flavor contrast.
For the best results, use freshly baked bread. This will enhance the difference between the soft outer crust and the crispy toasted interior. You can also use sugar bread or raisin bread for a sweeter option, making it perfect for breakfast or a midday snack.

Place the two slices of freshly baked bread together in a single slot of the toaster, with the long sides touching. Turn on the toaster and toast the bread slowly.
Once toasted, remove the slices simultaneously and keep them together.
Spread your chosen topping on the top toasted slice whether it’s butter, chocolate, jam or something savory like smoked salmon or cheese.
After adding the topping, flip the bottom slice upwards so that the toasted sides face inward, with the topping in between. The outside should remain soft. Press gently.
Your toastas is now ready. Enjoy!
