Doctor, Are There Any Objections To Toasted Bread?
“There are no objections, other than the manner in which it is done. To get good results the slices should be cut thin and heat enough applied to drive all the moisture out of it. The heat should be applied slowly at first, and then finished at an intense heat. A good way is to put the slices of bread in an oven, and then only partly close the oven door. When bread is moderately dry it should be taken out and toasted. If the slices are cut thick and only toasted a little on the outside, the moisture in the bread is merely driven to the centre of the slice, making it much like dough and wholly unfit for the uses usually desired.
