Texas Toast and How to Make it
Texas toast is thick and crusty and buttery. It makes delightful sandwiches--or to go with your meals or spread with jam. It only takes minutes to make, and Country Farm White is an ideal bread for Texas toast.
How to Make Texas Toast in a Skillet or in the Oven
Cut the bread into thick slices 3/4 to one-inch. Thicker bread allows you to cook it so that the outside is crunchy but the interior remains soft and chewy.
To make Texas toast in a skillet, first add a little garlic powder to softened butter and then melt the butter in a heavy skillet. (You can omit the garlic powder if you prefer.)
Fry thick slices of bread in the butter, infusing the bread with the melted butter. Continue frying the bread until it becomes a little crispy and the crust becomes crunchy.
You can also make Texas toast on a baking sheet in a 350-degree oven. Brush the melted butter onto both sides of the bread before placing it in the oven. Check the toast frequently so that you don't burn the butter.
Whether you're using the oven or skillet, you can add chopped parsley or grated Parmesan before cooking. Either way, it's a delightful way to prepare homemade bread.
Making a Tuna Sandwich on Texas Toast
Country Farm White Bread is a perfect bread for tuna sandwiches, grilled or not. This is not a grilled sandwich, although you can make it that way. It's made on Texas toast. Texas toast is simply bread toasted in a hot skillet with butter added.
About the tuna
We prefer albacore white tuna. It's incredible, almost like eating chicken.
Get all the oil or water out of the tuna. That's where the fishy, salty taste is.
When you take the lid off the can, turn it upside down and squeeze the lid into the can, pressing the water or oil out of the meat. You can also dump the tuna into a small strainer and press the tuna with the back of a large spoon.
About the tuna salad
For me, the basic is a good mayonnaise. Usually, that's good enough, but I'm generous with the mayo. If we have it, I use low-fat mayo or avocado mayonnaise. I often add sweet pickle relish, sometimes a little horseradish, and occasionally, sour cream. Ranch dressing is fine addition. It's fun to be creative.
Merri Ann likes her food more seasoned than I do. She will add minced onion, garlic, or chives and sometimes a little spice or chopped herbs. Chopped basil is good.
I tend to be creative. Try chopped apples or dried cranberries. Don't get carried away with the savories. Chopped cashews are incredible. If you want a little kick, add Thai sweet chili sauce.
You'll have a fabulous tuna sandwich with great bread, quality tuna, and a little creativity.
