I’ve always seen those aesthetic “Star Toast” photos on Pinterest and Instagram, and I finally decided to try it myself! I thought it would be super easy, but honestly? I failed twice before I got this perfect shot.
If you’re a bit clumsy in the kitchen like me, listen up—here is how to avoid my “squashed bread” disasters!
My Epic Fails (Don’t do this!):
1. The wrong mold: At first, I bought a shallow “stamp-style” cookie cutter. It probably works for thin cookie dough, but for thick Japanese bread? It just crushed the bread into a mess. I had to go back and buy a deep, sturdy aluminum cutter.
2. Timing is everything: In my second attempt, I toasted the bread and buttered it before cutting. Huge mistake! The toast was too soft and greasy to hold the shape, and it just fell apart.
My Pro-Tips for Success:
• Cut BEFORE toasting: This is the golden rule! Use a sturdy mold on fresh, firm bread.
• Use thinner slices: Thick bread is delicious, but thinner slices are much easier to punch out clearly.
• The Plate Matters: I found this beautiful heart-beaded glass plate at a local boutique. I knew it would be the perfect match for my star toast!
Even if you’re not a “chef” and feel a bit uncoordinated, you can totally do this. It turned my boring morning into something so magical and aesthetic. Give it a try—and hopefully, you’ll get it right on the first try, unlike me!
料理が苦手なわたしでもさすがにできるやつ😼✨✨って思って手つけたのに、2回失敗して自己肯定感下がった⤵️笑
