You will be interested in this method of making toast without a toaster if there is no free space on the kitchen table or you just do not want to buy another household appliance. Fortunately, there are several great ways to do this. If you don't have a toaster, the bread can be toasted or browned in a skillet on the stove top or on a baking sheet in the oven. You can even make toast over the fire while you are outdoors!

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Toast on the stove

1. 1 Place a small skillet over medium heat. Use a non-stick skillet or a medium-sized cast iron skillet. Place it on a hotplate and turn on medium heat. Wait a minute for it to warm up.
2. 2 Spread butter on the bread. While the pan is heating, take a knife and spread butter on one side of a slice of bread.
   • Place the oiler on the counter before you start making the toast so the butter softens a little and spreads more easily.
   • Use your finger to hold the edge of the butter slice if the knife sticks too hard to the bread.
3. 3 Place the bread, butter side down, in the skillet. Place the slice of bread in the pan so that the buttered side is on the bottom and in contact with the bottom.
4. 4 Cover for 2 minutes. Cover the pan with a heavy lid with holes for steam to escape. This will keep the warmth inside and the bread will fry faster.
   • Reduce heat if the stove is hot or you don't want the toast to be crispy.
5. 5 Spread butter on the other side of the bread and turn it over. Wait 2 minutes and remove the cover. Spread some butter on the top of the bread without taking it out of the pan. Then use a spatula to turn over the slice.
6. 6 Cover the bread and remove from heat after 2 minutes. Place the lid back on the pan. After 2 minutes, transfer the toast with a spatula from the skillet to a plate. Put cheese or sausage on the bread, or spread jam on it - and bon appetit!

Method 2 of 4: Roasting in the oven

1. 1 Move the wire shelf to the topmost step of the oven. It is in the upper part that the grill is located. To get the bread closer to the grill, set the wire rack as high as possible.
2. 2 Turn on the oven and wait for it to heat up. Pay attention to the buttons or controls of the oven. To turn on the grill, press the "On" and / or "High Power" button, or set the "Grill" mode. Wait 5 minutes for the grill to heat up.
3. 3 Spread the bread on a baking sheet and place it on the top rack in the oven. Place the bread slices on a non-greased baking sheet. Then place it on the wire rack as close to the grill as possible.
   • If you don't have a baking sheet, carefully place the bread right on the wire rack in the oven.
   • Use a wide baking tray to make a large amount of toast in one go.
4. 4 Turn the bread over after 1-2 minutes. Watch him closely. At high grill temperatures, the toast will be crispy the way you want it, but it can burn if left unattended. After 1-2 minutes, turn the bread slices over with special tongs.
5. 5 Remove the finished toast from the oven after 1-2 minutes. Use thick potholders to remove the baking sheet from the oven. Use tongs to transfer the toast from the baking sheet to the plate. Add any filling or spread as desired.

Method 3 of 4: Slow Oven Roasting

1. 1 Preheat the oven to a low temperature. Set the oven temperature to 175 ° C. Wait for a signal before placing your bread in it - it can be a sound or a light indicator.
2. 2 Spread the slices of bread on a baking sheet and place them on the wire rack. To ensure the bread is evenly toasted, place the wire rack in the center of the oven.
3. 3 Turn the bread over after about 5 minutes. Open the oven door and use tongs to turn the slices over to the other side.
4. 4 After another 5 minutes, remove the bread from the oven. Take the thick potholders and remove the baking sheet from the oven. Use tongs to transfer the toast from the baking sheet to a plate. They're now ready to eat, so add your favorite toppings to your toast or spread with whatever you like.
   • Try toast with peanut butter or Nutella or cinnamon and sugar.
   • Add fig jam, goat cheese, walnuts or hummus and olive tapenade for a creative toast.

Method 4 of 4: Toast over the fire

1. 1 Choose a safe place for your fire. If there is no suitable hole nearby, find a spot without loose earth, grass, or debris. Make sure there are no low hanging branches nearby.
2. 2 Light the fire. First, lay out large stones around the perimeter of the future fire pit. Place tinder and kindling materials such as crumpled paper or dry grass, small brushwood and twigs in the middle. Light the paper with a lighter and slowly fan the flame. As the fire grows, add more kindling and branches, and then thick logs.
   • If you find it difficult to start a fire or fan it, light the kindling and tinder from several sides at once.
3. 3 Place a cast iron skillet on the grill on the rocks above the fire. Add some coals to the fire when the fire is well lit. Now carefully place the grill rack over the fire. Place a medium to large cast iron skillet on top of it.
   • Melt some butter in a skillet first if you want to make a flavorful toast. Also use leftover fat if you have previously fried meat in a pan.
4. 4 Arrange the bread in the skillet so that the flat slices cover the bottom, but do not cover each other. You can put as much bread as will fit in the pan without overlapping.
5. 5 Turn the bread over several times until each side is lightly browned. Unlike toasters, stoves, and ovens, campfire flames are not predictable. Therefore, turn the slices with tongs every 20-30 seconds to control the degree of doneness. Turn over as many times as necessary. Use tongs to remove the toasts that are brown on both sides.
6. 6 Put out the fire. After enjoying the fire, fill it with a large bucket of water to extinguish the fire. Turn the coals over with a stick to get them all wet. You can safely leave this picnic area if you no longer hear the hissing of coals and ash.

Warnings

• Always take the necessary safety precautions when lighting a fire.
• After making the toast, check to see if you have turned off the stove and / or oven.
