Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Fresh white bread loaf
- 114 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
Slice the white bread loaf into thick slices, approximately 1 inch thick, then cut each slice into smaller pieces if desired.
Arrange the bread slices on a baking tray in a single layer, ensuring they're not overlapping.
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well-combined.
Spread a generous layer of the butter mixture over one side of each bread slice using a butter knife or a spoon.
Place the baking tray with the buttered bread slices into the preheated oven.
Bake the bread slices for about 20 minutes, then flip them over to bake the other side.
Continue baking for another 20 minutes or until the bread slices are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Serve as a delightful snack with some tea or coffee. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
