A recreation of one of my favourite bakes in London!

The famous honey butter toast at Arôme bakery is probably one of my favourite treats in London so I had to recreate it at home. This version only needs 4 ingredients and it’s completely fool proof so you get exactly the same result as in the bakery

🍞Ingredients

• 2 thick slices of shokupan/brioche bread

• 40g butter, room temperature

• 40g light brown sugar

• 20g honey

• Pinch of salt

🍞Method

• In a bowl mix the butter and light brown sugar with a spoon. Then incorporate the honey and salt and mix again until getting a homogeneous creamed mix

• Cut your bread into thick slices and remove the crust so you get even squares

• Spread your honey butter mix on both sides of the bread including the edges

• Place slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 180C for 18-20min flipping them half way through. They should get a light brown caramelised colour

• Remove toasts from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack for 10 minutes before consuming

• These are best enjoyed after cooking them as the caramelised crust will tend to soften after 5 hours

FAQS and Tips

• What type of bread to use? The original recipe uses Shokupan, a japanese milk bread that has a firmer, more bready texture so it holds the shappe better. My favourite version is actualy with brioche since it is lighter and more buttery (as well being easier to find!)
