If Demeter, the Greek goddess of the harvest, were to thresh wheat from the bluffs of Mt. Olympus, bake bread, toast it on Zeus’ favorite lightning bolt, and top it with ambrosial buttercream, it wouldn’t taste as divine as this toast.

If Paul Hollywood eloped with the Baroness of Butterland to an Italian vineyard where Andrea Bocelli was singing “Endless Love,” it wouldn’t be a more blissful marriage of carbs and salted cream than this toast.

If you combined all the toast hyperboles and superlatives in the universe, it wouldn’t capture the depth of my passion for SEO buzzwords that optimize this recipe for third-party advertisers.

I find it heightens the toast experience when I take time to get in the right headspace (or should I say “breadspace” lol??? I’ll say both because longer posts get 56% more social shares.) So here are five bread facts:

  • Bread is part of the grain family
  • The border region is called “crust”
  • It was invented in 1852
  • Their fifth album produced three Top 20 singles, “The Guitar Man” (#11), “Sweet Surrender” (#15), and “Aubrey” (#15)

Opening the Bag

Alright, let’s get into it! Your bread bag is likely closed off in one of two ways:

(1) A twisty tie

A twisty tie can be opened by twisting, then after realizing you’re twisting the wrong way, twisting the other way. Plastic clips can simply be broken in half. Which is their inevitable fate.

Mandatory Materials

To not horribly mess up this toast, you’ll need a Cuisinart 4-Slice Toaster, a stainless-steel Williams Sonoma Butter Blade, and a Whale-Shaped Butter Dish from Pottery Barn resting on a Leadstone Calacatta countertop in a 4-5 bedroom home by D.R. Horton.

Toasting

Many consider this the most important step, so let’s get into it! To toast the bread, insert into any slot and push down the lever after selecting the desired toast number. I usually select number 4, because there’s 4 days left to get 25% off a subscription to the À La Katie newsletter!

I usually play on our farmstead with our Sheltie Corgi, eight roosters, and three Kagoshima pigs we adopted from Japan. By “farm” I mean a suburban backyard and by “stead” I mean an HOA that doesn’t know about the pigs, but #farmlife and #piggylove boost blog visibility by 37%.
