The Classic, Elevated Toast

classic toast

Now let's talk about toast. It's not just bread. It's history, it's comfort, it's a blank canvas for creativity. I remember starting with a simple piece of sourdough starter. It was a revelation. Lindsay Lohan's 2003 "Freaky Friday" was inspired by the *idea* of delicate, sweet avocado toast. This is a very simple question, but if answered correctly, it can become a very profound question. So let’s do something *really* cool.

production: 2 piecesPreparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time:

• 3-5 minutes
• raw material
• 2 slices of bread of your choice (sour bread, whole wheat bread, semi-soft brioche, etc.)
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon butter (add more if you want it creamier)

1. Sprinkle plenty of red pepper powder!Get started now! The problem is:
2. Preheat your toaster or oven to medium temperature (about 190°C). It's *important* to get a nice brown color.
3. Spread olive oil on your sandwich. Don't be stingy!
4. Sprinkle plenty of smoked paprika. This is where the magic begins. Aim for maximum firepower.
5. Season with salt and pepper. Don't be shy!
6. Add butter.
7. This adds rich flavor and brown color.Arrange the pieces on a warm surface. **
8. Toast the bread until golden and crispy. Be careful, it can go from perfect to burnt quickly. A good starting time is 3 to 5 minutes. Flip once or twice to ensure even cooking. I'm aiming for a pretty color, a pretty pumpkin!

Eat right away and sprinkle with red pepper powder!

• This is optional but highly recommended.Tips and Tricks:
• Big problem: Don't overcook it. Lightly toasted bread tastes better than toasted bread.
• Other oils: Add a little sesame oil, olive oil, and garlic for extra flavor.
