  • Now set this slice inside the muffin mold in a way that it takes shape of a muffin mold (Fig 3).
  • Do the same with all bread slices (Fig 4).
  • Now bake them at 200°C for 10 minutes after that bake at 160°C for another 10-15 minutes.
  • Making sure you do not want to make the bread crispy.
