It’s great having fresh baked bread every day, and while one of the wonderful things about homemade bread is that it contains no chemicals or preservatives, it also doesn’t stay fresh very long. Also, if you live in a warm place or somewhere with high energy costs, you might not want to heat your whole house up every day just to have fresh bread.
The solution? Baking bread in your toaster oven. It’s totally possible, and works great!
Here’s how:
On the weekend, make yourself a large batch of dough. You will probably want to double or triple your regular dough recipe. Let it rise on the counter, the, if you’d like to bake on the same day, separate about a grapefruit sized amount, shape into a smaller loaf and let rise for a bit on the counter, and put the rest in a non-airtight container in the refrigerator.
Each time you are ready to bake a new loaf, just break off another grapefruit-sized amount of dough in the morning, place on your baking pan or in a loaf pan (that you know will fit in the toaster oven) and let rise throughout the day.
To bake, just preheat your toaster oven to 450 degrees, and bake as you would in a regular oven. It’s that simple!
You can also use this pre-made dough for all kinds of things! Pizza, focaccia, dinner rolls, etc. Having a big batch of dough in your fridge all week long is an excellent way to ensure you have fresh, delicious, and healthy bread and baked goods for dinners and snacks throughout the week.
