Tips for cooking

If you like, you can spread the mixture made in Step 2 on both sides and bake it again to make it more fragrant. The cooking degree depends on the type of toaster you are using, so please adjust the temperature as you check the conditions. This time it's baked at 1000W 180°C (360°F). Toasters have a limited space inside which makes the food close to the heat source, so it has a risk of smoke or catching fire due to oil dropping or splashing. Keep an eye on the toaster while it is heating.
