Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Rubber spatula
  • Baking tray
  • Baking paper
  • Metal spatula
  • Wire rack

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices of thick bread
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Pinch of salt

Serve with:

  • Whipped cream
  • Caramel sauce

Instructions
 

  • Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with parchment and set aside.
  • Cut the crusts off the bread slices, ideally use a brioche or unsliced white bread.
  • In a bowl add the butter, brown sugar and mix with a spatula. Add salt, vanilla, honey and mix.
  • Spread this butter mixture evenly over all the sides of the slices of bread, top, bottom and sides.
  • Place them on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and gently flip each piece of bread. Bake again for 8 more minutes.
  • Take the tray out of the oven and let the toast sit for about 2 minutes on the tray.
  • With the help of a spatula transfer each toast to a wire rack to finish cooling. They will be very hot and soggy, but as they cool down they will get crispy. Allow to cool for 8-10 minutes.
  • Serve with whipped cream and caramel sauce.

Notes

  • You must flip the toasts half way through the baking as that will help it cool on both sides evenly.
  • Finishing the cooling on a wire rack is important as the air flow allows the toast to get crispy and not turn soggy with condensation from the heat.
