Categories Breads

Time 1h

Yield 7 slices

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

12 slices white bread (homemade, day-old)
8 ounces butter (chilled and sliced)
9 ounces light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
10 ounces heavy cream
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

Mix the brown sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Keep separate.
Mix the cream, eggs, vanilla and remaining cinnamon together to make a batter.
Liberally spray a loaf pan with Pam or other vegetable spray. Layer three slices day old bread on bottom of pan. Sprinkle 1/3 brown sugar mixture on top of bread, then layer 1/3 of the butter. Repeat these steps two more times. Top off with three more slices of bread (should have a total of 12 slices of bread). Press down with hand to compact bread into loaf pan.
Slowly pour 16 oz. of batter over top of loaf, covering completely. This may take a little time, to allow it to fully absorb into bread and flow into spaces at bottom. (Take your time here and pour into corners. Lift bread at corners a little to get into bottom quicker if you want.).
Place loaf pan on some paper towels in case of overflow. Cover top of loaf with parchment paper and wrap top tightly with aluminum foil. Place in refrigerator and allow to sit overnight.
Heat oven to 325º F. Bake for approximately 1 hour or until internal temperature in center of loaf is 160 degrees. Uncover and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Place a plate on top of loaf pan and invert to remove from pan. Cut into 7 slices and serve.

FRENCH TOAST LOAF

French Toast Loaf image

Have not made this yet, but I intend to for the holidays. Bread is cubed and combined with the normal ingredients for French toast and baked in a loaf pan. Cut into slices to serve and top with your favorite slightly warmed maple syrup. Would also be great topped with sweetened berries and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 cups half-and-half
4 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
4 cups bread cubes

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°.
Coat a 5x9" loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the bread cubes and mix well.
Stir in the bread cubes and allow to sit for 10 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed.
Spoon into the loaf pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until golden.
Remove from the pan, slice and serve with your favorite topping.
Note: I would make this with challah or any other more substantial bread instead of just plain sliced white bread.

Tips:

Use a quality bread. A good French bread or challah will yield the best results.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the French toast loaf tough.
Let the loaf soak in the batter for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the bread to absorb the custard and cook evenly.
Cook the loaf over low heat. This will prevent the loaf from burning.
Flip the loaf frequently. This will ensure that the loaf cooks evenly.
Serve the loaf immediately. French toast loaf is best served warm and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

French toast loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a crowd and can be made ahead of time. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect French toast loaf that everyone will love.
