Freezer Recipe: Homemade Texas Toast

This Texas Toast is simple to make ahead and freeze. And it is so much better than the stuff from the box.

 

I wrote recently about some bread recipes that I keep on hand to fix for dinner.  One that I didn’t include on that list is this one for Freezer Texas Toast.  That’s because it’s not really much of a recipe.

It is, however, an incredibly convenient staple to have on hand in my freezer.

It is also incredibly popular at my dinner table.

Before I discovered this recipe,  Texas Toast meant the box from the freezer section of the grocery store that I almost never bought because I didn’t feel it was the healthiest option.

Not to say that my homemade version is health food.  But making it myself, I know exactly what’s in it and although I haven’t checked, I’d bet my house that mine has fewer ingredients, all of which I can pronounce.

You could add any variety of herbs you like to this.  We like it pretty simple, I even go light on the garlic in this recipe (unlike my gyros, where I always add more than called for).  You decide what your family will like best.  Parsley would be good, or basil.

Making Texas toast to keep on hand is one of my favorite freezer recipes.

I serve it most often with BBQ dishes, like my Pulled Pork, or with saucy Italian pasta dishes.  It’s also fantastic with my Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya.

Can I add a plug here for baking stones?  I love mine.  One of the things I love best is that I don’t have to flip things in order to get even browning.  People either love or hate stoneware.  I am most definitely in the love camp.

This bread is buttery and golden and crisp and delectable.  And did I say buttery.

Buttery.

If your family likes buttery — make this bread.  Keep it on hand in your freezer and see the smiles on your family’s face when they see there’s Texas Toast for dinner. 

I’ve actually gotten applause.
