Ingredients
- Thick-sliced bread (approx. 4-5cm thick) – 1 piece
- Unsalted butter, melted – 30g
- Honey – 30g
- Dried parsley flakes, for garnish (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing your thick-sliced bread. A thickness of about 4-5cm is ideal for the best texture. You can choose to trim the crusts or leave them on, depending on your preference.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, carefully score the top surface of the bread in a diamond pattern (like ‘#’). Make sure not to cut all the way through; leave about 1cm of the bread intact at the bottom. This scoring allows the delicious honey-butter mixture to penetrate deep into the bread.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the delectable sauce that will make this bread irresistible. You’ll need the unsalted butter and honey.
Step 4
Melt the 30g of unsalted butter. You can do this gently in a microwave or over low heat on the stovetop until it’s fully liquid.
Step 5
Combine the warm, melted butter with the 30g of honey. Stir them together until they are smoothly incorporated, creating a luscious, golden sauce.
Step 6
Carefully pour the honey-butter sauce into the scores you made in the bread. Use a spoon or a small spatula to ensure the sauce seeps into all the nooks and crannies. Gently press down on the bread to help the sauce distribute evenly.
Step 7
Finally, bake the bread in a preheated oven or air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the honey has slightly caramelized. Baking times may vary slightly depending on your appliance, so keep an eye on it. For an extra touch of visual appeal, sprinkle some dried parsley flakes on top before serving.
