Easy Homemade Toast Bread

Written by Published on Updated on January 9, 2025 in Breads

Hey, there friends,

Happy New Year!! Are you ready to embark on this new year and its chapters, and what memories will be made? 🙂 I am! I’m starting the New Year by baking an Easy Homemade Toast Bread recipe. It’s cold, windy, and snowy, so baking is my jam at the moment. Hahaha.

I’ve been baking bread for a while but never posted any of the bread recipes I’ve been making.  So, this year I decided to post a few recipes just in case you would like to try them out.  Let’s get started with the type of flour I used in this recipe.  I try to use unbleached bread flour or unbleached all-purpose flour.  It’s much easier to find many Greek products now because there are Greek Supermarkets in Germany.  So, if I cannot find Greek flour I go to the next best flour German flour.

I made two batches of loaf bread one with regular whole-fat milk and the other with buttermilk.  There was a substantial difference with the buttermilk loaf in texture, taste, and aroma.  I truly liked them both and so in regards to which type of milk to use it’s really up to you.  If you’ve baked bread before then you already know the differences. If not then try out both and see which one makes your tastebuds happy.

This Homemade Toast Bread is also great for making sandwiches.  Now we all love our sandwiches, so why not try making your homemade bread from scratch and see the difference with each bite?  This is a simple recipe the only ingredient you may need is dry yeast.  If any of you are like me I hardly ever remember to write down dry yeast on my shopping list.  I simply forget simple as that, I was never really into baking.  I am starting to enjoy it as time goes by.

So, if you’re looking for a soft, fluffy homemade toast, loaf bread give this recipe a go!

Have a wonderful morning/afternoon/evening everyone!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece.My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural.In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it.Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits.So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes.Sophie
