Sweet toast recipes:
Recipe 1: Sweet simple toast
Cooking simple sweet toasts will not require any special culinary delights or skills. Take a sweet muffin, white loaf or baguette - and for the cause! This dish will serve as an addition to tea or coffee.
Ingredients Required:
- White long loaf or pastry
- Sugar Powder
Preparation Method:
- Cooking sweet croutons will allow you to “save” a stoned bun or a stale loaf. This appetizer does not contain extra calories, because we will prepare the dish without oil.
- Slice the bun as you like — large slices or small pieces.
- Heat a frying pan or oven. If you cook the croutons in a pan without oil, then it will be best of all to use them with jam or chalk immediately after cooking. Cooking in the oven will prolong the "life" of the toast up to a week.
- Put the slices of the bun or loaf on the deck and send to the oven for seven minutes at a low temperature - 100-120 degrees. If you decide to cook the dish in the pan, then fry the bun on the hot surface for 2-3 minutes, making sure that the croutons are not burnt. If you are making croutons from a savory loaf, then sprinkle the prepared dish with powdered sugar.
