If your feed has been flooded with the viral honey butter toast, then you’ve come the right place. The honey butter toast from Arome Bakery in London has taken the internet by storm so we’re here to replicate it and make it better with ice cream and salt caramel sauce.

There are 3 main components to this dish: Bread, honey butter and salted caramel.

1. Bread: you will need Japanese milk bread that you can find at Asian grocery stores or any Japanese bakery. Finding an uncut loaf might be hard since they mostly come pre-sliced. If this is something you cannot find near you then a great alternative would be uncut brioche bread loaf.
2. Honey butter: it’s butter, honey, brown sugar and salt. Yes not for days of dieting but trust me, it’s worth the calories.
3. Salted caramel sauce: a delicious salted caramel sauce that is versatile with any dessert. It’s quick and easy to make too.

Ingredients

Japanese milk bread
Vanilla ice cream

Honey butter:
80g butter, softened
80g brown sugar
50g honey

Salted Caramel Sauce:
1/3 cup caster sugar
2 tbsp butter, diced
1/4 cup heavy cream, slightly warmed in the microwave
1/3 tsp salt

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
2. Honey Butter: in a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the honey butter with a pinch of salt. Mix well until incorporated and then set aside.
3. Get your loaf of bread and cut a thick slice (around 3cm or 2 inches). Remove all the crust. Slice the honey butter onto the bread evenly on all sides and bake for 20 minutes, flip halfway.
4. While your bread is baking, prepare the caramel sauce. In a pan over medium heat, melt your sugar until it’s an amber colour. Carefully drop in the butter and stir to combine. Then pour in the cream and again carefully stir to well combine. Add in the salt and stir. Transfer the sauce into a bowl or jug.
5. Once your bread is ready, leave to cook on a wire rack. Then to serve, top with ice cream and a healthy drizzle of salted caramel sauce.
