Understanding the Tovala Oven Settings
Before you start, it’s crucial to understand the Tovala oven‘s toasting settings. You’ll find three options:
- Light: For a lightly browned crust and soft interior
- Medium: For a medium-brown crust and slightly chewy interior
- Dark: For a deep brown crust and crunchy interior
Choosing the Right Bread
The type of bread you choose will impact the toasting outcome. Here are some recommendations:
- White bread: Toasts quickly and evenly, perfect for light or medium toasting
- Wheat bread: Has a slightly denser texture, ideal for medium or dark toasting
- Sourdough bread: Can be toasted on any setting, but dark toasting will enhance its tangy flavor
Preparing Your Bread
- Slice your bread: For even toasting, slice it to a uniform thickness.
- Remove any excess moisture: If your bread is fresh, blot it gently with a paper towel to prevent sogginess.

Tips for Perfect Toasting

- Toast in batches: If toasting multiple slices, do it in batches to ensure even toasting.
