Honey Butter Toast

Honey butter toast is delightfully crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. It’s a 1-bowl, 6-ingredient recipe that’s easier to make than French toast but just as delicious.

Notes

  1. If you can find it, use Japanese milk bread or Hokkaido milk bread. They’re hard to find where I am though, so I use challah or brioche bread. What you need to keep in mind is to choose a sturdy but tender bread and to stay away from crusty bread.
  2. You don’t want to be heavy-handed when spreading your butter mixture. You only need a thin layer on each side of the bread. Too much and you won’t get that crunch.
  3. Don’t worry if your bread slices are soft out of the oven. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool and when they do, they will become nice and crispy!
