Ultimate Brick Toast
Popular in Taiwan this sweet treat is a huge brick of toast. The inside is hollowed out and cut into smaller bricks, which are sweetened, toasted and then put back in and layered to resemble a brick wall. The outside bread is toasted as well. It's then topped with fresh fruit, ice cream and other toppings.
Ingredients
- 1 unsliced loaf of Japanese white bread, or similar equivalent
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- toppings of your choice, fresh fruit, ice cream
- condensed milk, optional
Instructions
- Slice off approximately 1/3 of the bread loaf, or whatever size you desire your brick toast to be.
- Use a sharp, long knife and cut a square into your toast. Leave about 1/2 inch from all ends and bottom. Make sure not to cut all the way through to the bottom. Using your hand, carefully slip into one side until you reach near the bottom and try to pull out the entire inner square in one piece. The bread along the bottom should rip easily even though it hasn't been cut.
- Take inner square and cut into smaller, bite-size brick pieces.
- Whip softened butter with sugar until creamy.
- Slather butter onto the brick pieces and also the inner four sides of the large brick.
- If your brick is too large to fit in a toaster oven, toast for 5-10 minutes in a regular oven. Toast smaller pieces in toaster oven. Take smaller pieces after they are finished toasting and put them back and stacked into the larger brick. Then top with ice cream, fresh fruit, toppings of your choice. Drizzle with condensed milk if desired and serve immediately.
