French Toast: Classic

Source: Found on Pinterest

Sour Dough bread is more dense and makes great french toast (also low glycemic),
however you can use any bread of your choosing. We like challah bread also.

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf of sour dough bread from the Breadsmith (or good quality bread of your choice) - see note below
  • 1-1/2 c. milk, warmed
  • 2 Tbls. unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for skillet)
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 t. vanilla
  • 3 Tbls. light brown sugar
  • ½ t. ground cinnamon
  • ¼ t. salt
  • breakfast syrup for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

Whisk together milk, butter, eggs, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Transfer to a large baking dish to soak bread pieces.

Soak each bread slice in the mixture, about 30 seconds per side, then place on preheated griddle or skillet that has been preheated and coated with a little margarine or butter.

Cook until golden brown on bottom side (3-4 minutes), flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until the other side of the bread is golden brown.

Transfer to oven, to keep warm until all pieces have been cooked.

Serve with extra butter and syrup.

NOTE: A half recipe will make 7-8 slices of bread.

You can freeze individual servings (2-3 pieces) in saran wrap and place in a ziplock bag to freeze and enjoy another time. Just thaw and warm in oven or microwave.
