how long to toast bread?

Depending on how dark you want it, it is usually about five minutes for me... But I like my toast on the darker side.

I have to say that I absolutely love this oven and use it endlessly all day long! It's the greatest.

Toasting bread definitely takes longer than our previous toaster oven. Perhaps twice as long and was noticeably longer from the beginning.

On average it takes 4 to 5 minutes depending on how dark and how many slices. It does a good job of toasting evenly.

I do 45 minutes @425 degrees. Cooks it through but leaves it juicy! Also, because I'm gluten intolerant, I use crushed potato chips or instant potato flakes instead of the bread crumbs. You can also toast gluten free bread and make your own crumbs!

For normal bread, you flip the grate around to centre it in the oven, there is a "toast" button and then up/down buttons for length of time for toasting. I find that even with the grate centred, the toast browns slightly more on the top than the bottom. For buns, I leave the grate lower in the oven and toast that way as it centres the buns better.

A toaster would be your best bet. But if this is all that you have, place the bread on the rack, place the temp at the highest temp on the oven and don't wait for it to heat up. Make sure that the rack is in the middle slot. Keep an eye on it.

When inserting bread you manually control the lever., lowering the bread. You set the length of time you want it toasted and then it pops up automatically.

To get a crisp crust, you need to use a baking stone or a special baguette pan. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees for at least half an hour. Just before putting the bread in the oven, slash with a sharp knife or razor, lightly spray with water and pop it in. After ten minutes, reduce the heat to 400 and turn the bread front to back. Bake another 15-20 minutes. A slim baguette can be done at this point, a fatter one will take longer. When the bread looks toasty brown, take the temperature of the bread with an instant read thermometer (essential for anyone who bakes). When the internal temp reaches 205-210, it's done.

Easy - just place the bread on a rack a little below center. Set to "bake" at 450. Toasts perfectly in just a few minutes, both sides with no turning. I almost didn't buy this because people said it doesn't toast, but it makes great toast, and toasted cheese sandwiches too. The key is to place it closer to the bottom to get both sides toasted with no turning.

How long are you baking it for? And what are you baking, different types of breads take longer, for plain white bread it only takes 40 mins to an hour with the cast iron. Also cast iron you have to preheat if your doing something like banana bread, but regular bread you have to let rise in the pan prior in a preheated oven(usually at 170) so that could be your problem.

I have found that toasting the bread in a dry frying pan over medium low heat works very well. I "toast" each side until I see steam rising from the bread, then transfer it to a wire rack and proceed with whatever I'm making. Hope this helps.

2 1/2 minutes for lightly brown toast.... set the timer, not the temperature and you never have to check it. I am not one to spend $200 bucks on a toaster, but I will have to admit that this toaster is worth every penny... love it!

yes it does take longer to toast. I dumped my Krups for a Hamilton Beach. It takes just as long. Disappointed !!!!!

About as long as it takes to make toast in a toaster. To get these hot from the fridge I have to use a setting of 5 which is the highest setting. I hope this helps.

I use 21.5 Oz bread flour, .38 oz salt,1.33 Oz DMS, 1.66 Oz sugar, .22oz instant yeast, 1 large egg lightly beaten, 1.66Oz unsalted butter or ghee, 13Oz water. Most likely you are not allowing your yeast enough time to rise. I usually give the first proof 90 min to two hours. The I degas the dough divide equally between the loaf pans and let them rise for another 90 min to 2 hours. It took me about 5 attempts to get it right. Also remember you have to hand roll your loaf dough prior to placing in the pan. This develops the surface tension needed for a good rise.

Hey, Jake. Great toaster for the price. Ours is about 1 month and it is doing well. Sometimes a little dark. Wife uses one side and I use other. The usable length is 5-3/8" and I like rye bread and the standard slice fits just fine.Good shopping .

yes but inadequate for toast you have to preheat minimum 10-15 minutes, who that much time in the morning for a piece of toast. During oven use you have to quickly remove the food close the door as the heat lose is so fast. The size of elements are too small. Mine is headed for the Salvation Army or Goodwill.

Put rack on middle level. Place bread on rack... The press "toast" button and set time to choice. Press start and that will do it. You can adjust the time to suit you.
