Crunchy Buttered Toast

Crunchy, buttered toast, warm and delicious!  When bread slices are in the toaster, the kitchen begins to have that heavenly aroma of baked bread.  

Toast is so comforting!  As a kid when you were sick, your mom made you toast.  When you need to mop up that last drop of runny egg yolk, you use toast.  To convey sweet homemade jam to our mouths, we use toast.  It is one of the fastest warm food you can prepare, and you can put just about anything on top of it.

A few years ago, my daughter was asked "What is your favorite food?"  her response, "Toast!"

This toast pictured is Salt Rising Bread.  I featured this bread in a post on 4/9/16. 

After a 12 hour sponging period, the milk cornmeal and sugar did not start bubbling.  Instead of throwing it out, I added 1 tsp. of yeast, and began on step 2 of the process.  The sponge did become bubbly and I could finish making the bread.

The result is a dense interior, that when toasted makes the best crunchy toast ever!

As Always, 

ENJOY!
