Sandwich Toast: How to Make Nigerian Sandwich Toast Bread

Sandwich toast bread and tea was my typical weekend morning meal while growing up. I love eating bread as a kid.

Hence, it’s not a revelation that toasts Nigerian bread is a favorite breakfast for millions of adults and kids not just in Nigeria, but across the globe as well.

While growing up, we had a bakery at the next street (New society bread bakery). Life was good then, we always go there to help out and end up with bags of goodies.

I ate so much bread (I mean hot bread) while growing up. No day will pass without tasting bread, once I perceive the aroma I will rush there with my friends.

Looking back now, I think that was when I developed my love for baking and cooking as well. Yes!

The bread was my go-to food. I could eat it with anything for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

With time I got introduced to other bread-related snacks like bread and stew, bread with Akara, bread honey toast, toast bread with beans, bread and egg cheese, bread and butter/jam, the sandwich toast, just name it, am already a fan.
