toastiness

Pleasant snug warmth

Toastiness is the quality of being pleasantly warm, like sitting by a fire or wrapped in a heated blanket: The toastiness of fresh-from-the-dryer clothes.

It can also describe the warm, browned flavor in bread or roasted foods: The toastiness of the crust was perfect.
