How to make scrumptious toast

This is how to make delicious toasted bread. Have you ever had beautifully tasty toast? Well, this is your chance to taste just that!

1. First, you get your bag of bread. You really need to get white bread for this because it tastes the best. Then open the bag.

2. After that, get your two slices of bread and put it in the silver toaster. Make sure you put it in the toaster and not in your telly. It’s an easy mistake to make!

3. Pull the lever at the front of the toaster down hard. Make sure you put the switch on the wall on before you do this step. If you don’t, you can’t have this mouthwatering toast and you’ll have to make do with plain disgusting bread.

4. Following the previous step, wait for it until it pops up. It will take about a minute or so. That’s just enough time to fart in your brother’s face!

5. When the toast is ready, it jumps out like a kangaroo. It will be a caramel brown colour.

So there it is. I’ve told you all about how to make scrumptious toast. Are you going to make it now?
