THE Bread

By lindaauman

Whenever I have a friend or family member over for dinner, they will ask the following question:
“Are you making The Bread?”

And I always smile and say:
“Yes. I am making The Bread.”

I smile because it’s a foregone conclusion that I will be making The Bread.

I smile because The Bread is so darn delicious and no one who tastes it can believe it contains only two ingredients.

I smile because it’s probably the easiest, simplest, effortless thing I make.

I smile. Because butter is involved.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spread one stick of softened butter on each half of the loaf.

Place on cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until butter is melted and starting to soak into the bread.

Turn on broiler and broil bread for 3-5 minutes, watching the whole time. Remove when butter has started to brown AND blacken. Don’t under-broil it! The flavor really kicks in when the butter’s color changes - blackened around edges.

Slice into strips and serve immediately.
