To make your toastie extra crispy, preheat your pan or sandwich press to a high temperature, use firm bread like sourdough or ciabatta, and spread a thin layer of butter or mayonnaise on the outside of the bread slices. Opt for thinner bread slices and keep the filling light and evenly spread to avoid sogginess. Cook the toastie on medium-low heat to ensure the bread crisps up without burning, and press down with a spatula or use a heavy pan for even crisping. These steps will help you achieve a deliciously crispy toastie.
The best types of bread for making toasties are those that are firm and sturdy enough to hold up to the heat and pressure without becoming soggy. Some great options include sourdough, ciabatta, baguette, and a good quality white or whole grain bread. These breads have a nice crust and dense crumb that toast well, providing a satisfying crunch and structure to your toastie. Avoid overly soft or airy breads, as they can become too squishy and won't achieve the desired crispiness. You want something with a bit of structure to it.
To prevent your toastie from getting soggy, use sturdy bread like sourdough, ciabatta, or quality white or whole grain bread, and spread a thin layer of butter or mayonnaise on the outside to create a moisture barrier. Keep fillings balanced and avoid overstuffing, pat down any wet ingredients like tomatoes, and pre-cook high-moisture fillings such as mushrooms or spinach. Cook the toastie on medium-low heat to ensure the bread crisps up without becoming soggy, and serve it immediately for the best texture.
Yes, you can make Mob’s toastie recipes without a sandwich press or toastie maker by using a skillet or frying pan: preheat the skillet over medium heat, assemble your toastie with buttered bread, and place it in the skillet. Press down with a spatula or use a heavy pan or grill press for extra crispiness. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and repeat on the other side, ensuring the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy before serving.
Yes, you can prepare toastie recipes in advance and reheat them later, though they may not be as crispy as when freshly made. To reheat, preheat your oven to 175°C and place the toasties on a baking sheet. Cover them with aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out and bake for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in a skillet over medium heat, pressing down occasionally with a spatula, until they are warm and the bread is crispy again. Avoid using the microwave, though, as it can make the bread soggy.
