Candied Bread
Description
To prepare, a butter and brown sugar blend is spread generously over each side of half-inch thick bread slices. The bread is cooked on a medium-heat non-stick pan until each side is golden and caramelized, creating a candied effect from the sugar melting and browning.
The contrast between the sweet, crispy outside and the tender bread interior creates a simple yet textured treat. The recipe suggests not stacking the bread immediately after cooking to avoid sticking and recommends serving it warm to enjoy the best texture.
Variations include adding cinnamon or sea salt to the butter mixture for extra flavor, using different bread types, or pairing with chocolate sauce. Brown sugar can be substituted with white sugar if unavailable.
Ingredients
- 5-6 lices white bread slices should be about 1/2" thick, or French bread
- 1/4 cup butter softened, salted
- 6 Tbsp light brown sugar
Instructions
- Heat a non stick griddle or fry pan over medium heat. In a small bowl, using a fork, mix together butter and brown sugar until well combine. Spread about 1/2 Tbsp butter mixture evenly over each side of the bread (about 1 tbsp total per slice). Place coated bread on preheated non-stick pan and cook until bottom turns golden, about 1 - 2 minutes. Flip and cook reverse side until bottom turns golden. Repeat process with remaining slices of bread. Remove candied bread from heat (don't stack slices while hot or they will stick) and serve warm (they can also be cooled and stored in an airtight container, but I think they are best warm).
Notes
- Enhance flavor by adding cinnamon or sea salt to the butter and sugar mixture before spreading on bread.
- Use various bread types, including French bread, sliced about 1/2 inch thick for best texture.
- Serve candied bread warm and avoid stacking slices immediately to prevent sticking.
- Brown sugar can be replaced with white sugar if brown sugar is not accessible.
- For a dessert twist, dip candied bread in chocolate sauce.
