FAQ
Q: What type of bread should I use?
A: For this recipe, it is best to use sliced white bread. You can also use other types of bread such as brioche, challah, or French bread. Make sure to cut the slices into slightly thinner slices so they cook evenly.
Q: How long should I cook the toast?
A: The cooking time will depend on the type of bread and the desired level of toastiness. For white bread, cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. For denser breads, such as brioche, challah, or French bread, you may need to cook for a few minutes longer. Keep an eye on the toast as it cooks and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
