Here’s a quick guide to making both sourdough toast and fried bread — two delicious, crispy, and satisfying ways to enjoy bread (especially for breakfast or brunch)!
🍞 Sourdough Toast
✅ Ingredients:
- 1–2 slices sourdough bread
- Butter or olive oil (optional)
🔥 How to Make It:
- Toast It:
- Toaster: Simply toast slices until golden brown.
- Pan Toasted: Heat a skillet, add a touch of butter or oil, and toast each side of the sourdough for 2–3 minutes until crisp and golden.
- Top It (Optional):
- Avocado + chili flakes
- Poached egg + arugula
- Ricotta + honey + figs
- Jam + butter
- Tomato + basil + olive oil
🍳 Fried Bread (Old-School British Style)
✅ Ingredients:
- 1–2 slices bread (white, sourdough, or your favorite)
- Butter, oil, or bacon fat
🔥 How to Make It:
- Heat Fat:
Add about 1–2 tablespoons of fat to a frying pan over medium heat. - Fry the Bread:
Place the bread in the hot pan and fry for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. - Drain & Serve:
Remove and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve warm.
🍽 Perfect Pairings:
- Serve fried bread with a full English breakfast (eggs, sausage, beans).
- Pair sourdough toast with soups, salads, or topped with anything from hummus to mushrooms.
