Keeping things simple, and few things are as satisfying as a warm slice of freshly baked bread, toasted to be equally crunchy and chewy in texture, and slathered with a generous spread of creamy butter. We’ve all experimented with that formula: tried out whole wheat and sourdough, opted for butter or a nutty spread. We’ve piled on jam or honey and devoured a slice alongside the morning paper and our steaming mug of joe. Yes, we love morning toast as much as anyone, but what we’ve really been digging lately is the “anytime” toast.
