    How to Toast Bread in the Oven Using the Broiler

    Broiling or baking the bread in the oven are two ways to make toast without a toaster. The bread can burn easily, therefore you HAVE to keep an eye on it near the oven.

    1. Turn the oven on to high. Adjust the oven rack to its highest setting.
    2. Lay the bread slices on a baking sheet that hasn't been buttered.
    3. Broil until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. The bread will burn easily, so keep an eye on it the whole time it broils.
    4. Cook for a further 3 to 4 minutes after flipping the bread.
    5. Take the baking sheet out of the oven and serve with butter or maple syrup.

    Tips & Tricks

    • Toast doesn't have to be cooked on a sheet pan. To still allow for air movement, you can use a sheet pan with a wire rack if you don't want to bake it directly on your oven rack.
    • When toasting bread in the oven, you must keep a close eye on it because it can quickly go from toasted to burned.
    • The baking sheet should not be oiled.
    • The best results are obtained when the rack is positioned in the center. Remember to wear your oven mitts if you need to move your oven rack in an oven that has already been warmed.
    • I wouldn't recommend storing your toasted bread for longer than a day if you intend to consume it like ordinary toast. Keep it out of the refrigerator.

    Can I toast bread in the oven?

    Yes! Perfect golden bread may be rapidly toasted in the oven! The bread only needs to be put on a baking sheet and toasted for either 1 or 10 minutes, depending on the method you choose.

    How long to toast bread in the oven?

    In 10 minutes, the bread will be lightly browned. Watch it closely to prevent burning, and if you like, turn it halfway through.

    To produce quickly browned toast, I toast bread at 425.
