Fried bread
Slice of bread that has been fried / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with frybread.
Fried bread is a slice of bread that has been fried. It is used as a substitute for toast in various dishes or meals.[1][2][3] Various oils, butter, lard, bacon drippings, or ghee can be used.[1][4] Some cooks may choose to fry rather than toast to avoid having to give counter or storage space to or spend money on a toaster.[1][4] Proponents of frying rather than toasting call out the extra flavor and crispiness that can be achieved by frying in fat rather than dry-toasting.[1][2][3]
