Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Slices of white bread
- 4 tablespoons Whole milk (or plant-based milk)
- 4 drops per color Food coloring (various colors)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Honey or jam (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the slices of white bread on a clean, flat work surface such as a cutting board.
Divide the milk evenly into 4 small bowls (1 tablespoon per bowl).
Add a drop or two of food coloring to each bowl, creating 4 different colors. Stir gently with a spoon until the color is fully incorporated.
Using a clean pastry brush or unused paintbrush, dip the brush into the colored milk and 'paint' designs onto the surface of the bread. Be creative—try polka dots, stripes, or even flowers!
Preheat a toaster or stovetop griddle over medium heat. Toast the slices of painted bread until they’re golden brown and the designs are vibrant.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam, if desired.
