The Best Damn Fairy Bread

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Fairy Bread | asimplepantry.comOK guys, we are going to take a little detour down down Memory Lane to our favorite childhood treats. I spent a lot of time conning my brother into giving me all his pennies, which incidentally, he was stealing from Dad, so I could go to this tiny little market inside a house and buy like…five dollars worth of penny candy. In return for his generous donation, I would give my brother about five to ten candies.

Such a great sister I am, right?

Anyway, now that I have kids, and the internet, I’ve discovered this super strange, but also delightful, treat called Fairy Bread.
Fairy. Bread.

Fairy Bread | asimplepantry.comFairy Bread | asimplepantry.comI almost can’t even consider this a recipe because it’s so easy. It features soft, squishy white bread, butter, and sprinkles. That’s it.
Seriously not kidding.

When I first heard of it, I thought it sounded awful. Butter? With sprinkles? What?? But kids the world over agree that Fairy Bread is the best thing since, well, sliced bread. Kids are smart.

Fairy Bread is actually a super popular children’s treat in Australia, which is where this recipe hails from. I tried to stay true to its original intent, to be as authentic as possible.

Fairy Bread | asimplepantry.comFairy Bread | asimplepantry.comFairy Bread | asimplepantry.comMy biggest, and probably most important tip, when it comes to making this treat, is to put the bread inside of a container to apply the sprinkles. Trust me, unless you want a countertop and floor covered with annoying sprinkles, put the bread in a container to trap those crazy buggers as they fly around. But other than that, you can’t get much simpler than this. Want to make some Fairy Bread with me?

Please do!

  9. When I was sick my mom would make me cinnamon toast.Simply toast bread, butter it, add a light sprinkle of sugar and cinnamon. You have to work fast in order for the sugar and cinnamon to melt into the butter. A wonderful pick ne up when you're blah.
