Tostas
I went to Spain and discovered tostas. It's a mystery to me because it has the qualities of both a quick bread and a yeast bread as well as a biscuit. Can anyone point my to a recipe? It's a simple staple in Spain but do you think that I can find it anywhere on the internet? Any Spanish bakers out there that might be willing to share their recipe?
Thank you!

David has a great one here in TLF, and googling will reveal several recipes.
If it is indeed tostas, I could not find anything either.
tostada being 'toasted'.
A tosta is just a slice of toasted bread, usually with some savoury items on it.
There are a few recipes here (in Spanish):

The bread used is usually a white yeasted bread, nothing special.
Another thing that may be called tosta is this Swedish bread:

Where did you find your tostas? Spain is not a very big country, but things can change a lot depending on where you are.
