Cast Iron Toast

March 23, 2015 by Jennifer Silverberg Leave a Comment

If my experience is any indication, once you toast your bread in an iron skillet, you’ll never go back to the dried-out toaster toast again! The crunchy grilled outside with the soft-fluffy inside is an amazing way to start the day, and no more difficult than using the toaster! Simple instructions below.

Cast Iron Toast

How to make Cast Iron Toast:

Heat a cast iron pan over medium high to high heat – you want your toast to sear! If desired, add a bit of coconut oil, ghee, olive oil, or butter to the pan – you don’t need much, and actually don’t need any at all for most breads.

If you’re slicing your own bread, cut a slice a little thicker than usual – this allows you to really enjoy the layers of crispy outside, warm chewy inside, then crispy outside. I’m a huge fan of long-fermented sourdough from my local farmer’s market, but any bread will be delicious.

When the pan is really hot, drop the bread onto the fat if you’re using it, and let it cook a couple of minutes on each side until golden brown. Enjoy immediately!

If you’re making bread to go with dinner, feel free to add spices, garlic, etc. to the oil before adding the bread. My favorite, though, is just a tiny dab of olive oil or ghee … amazing! Enjoy, and please let me know your thoughts below!
