Frequently Asked Questions about How To Make Easy Texas Toast

What IS Texas Toast? 

Texas toast is a buttered, thick slice of bread (often an italian style bread) that is toasted with butter, garlic and herbs on top. 

What temperature do I Toast My Texas Toast? 

Set the oven to broil and broil and entire pan of toast for 4 minutes on one side, flip and then another 2 minutes on the other side. 

How Thick Is Texas Toast? 

Texas Toast is about 1″ thick. Be sure to use a serrated knife to cut texas toast because this will give you the cleanest slice. 

Is it Cheaper to Make Your Own Texas Toast? 

My local grocery sells 5 slices of Texas Toast that you can bake at home for $2.99 = 0.60c per each. I can buy an entire loaf of Italian bread for $1.99 and a stick of butter costs 0.85c. A single loaf of italian bread makes at least 12 slices of Texas Toast making it cost 0.24c per each. 

You decide. 

Can I freeze my Texas Toast? 

Yes, you can freeze this texas toast at any stage. I recommend freezing the loaf of italian bread and then making it up when you need it. You can also freeze it with the butter applied and ready to bake, but it may be a little messy that way.

Place the frozen bread onto a baking sheet, bake in the oven on 350 for 10 minutes. Turn once while baking.

BUT WAIT, IS TEXAS TOAST REALLY FROM TEXAS?

According to Wikipedia (it’s on the internet, it has to be true!), Texas toast began in Denton, Texas when an order for a thicker slice of bread was too big for the toaster and the wise chef suggested grilling it on the grill instead. Surely, a gentleman after my own heart!
