Microwaving bread tastes better than toasting it

r/

Toasting ruins the soft texture of bread. If it has seeds, the seeds become synonymous with the bread crunch. It tastes burnt no matter what you do. The bread is flavourful, especially when it’s malted. So many different textures of bread are made to be widely different but toasting them makes them all the same.

But microwaving bread? Just for 10-30 seconds? That makes it taste like it’s fresh out the oven. It melts into your mouth. It feels delicious and the soft texture isn’t lost. The crusts aren’t gone. It just tastes awesome.

The spreads melt into the bread too if you add them.

I only do this with french bread/baguettes, not white bread
