Two Peas and Their Pod: French Toast with Cinnamon Syrup

Monday, March 02, 2009

French Toast with Cinnamon Syrup



We made another fabulous creation from our
Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day dough. I am telling you this dough/method is pure magic! We pulled out our big tub of dough and cut off a portion to make a French baguette. We shaped the loaf and let it rest for 20 minutes. I again, was stunned by the end results. The baguette was perfect! 

We decided to treat ourselves to an indulgent breakfast to celebrate our professional bread baking skills...ha! We made French toast with our fresh French baguette. I loved slicing into the crusty baguette! And guess what, there were lots of holes. My dad is obsessed with finding holes when he bakes bread, I am glad ours passed the hole test:) 

We dipped our bread into an egg, cinnamon, vanilla, and milk mixture and cooked the slices. I also made cinnamon syrup to drench our French toast in.  A dust of powder sugar and we were set! 

The French toast really hit the spot. The bread was thick, custardy, and soaked with cinnamon. Just how I like it. Try this for a sweet breakfast treat...and if you haven't tried baking Artisan in Five, just do it already!

i've always liked french toast slathered in maple syrup, but cinnamon syrup could quickly make this the best breakfast ever. :)

You have totally convinced me that I must make this artisan bread in 5pronto. It looks fabulous enough on it's own -- but as french toast? Oh my.

9:46 AM  
Blogger Maria said...

Grace-I know you love your cinnamon, you have to try this syrup:)

Cathy-I hope you try this bread, it is so easy, I promise!

Yum, that sounds & looks so good especially the cinnamon syrup. I had been craving french toast & on thurs got some from perkins, what a disappointment.

I'm definitely going to make a batch of that syrup. I think my children will really like it. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Darn I meant to ask how long do you think the syrup will last & do you think it will be ok sitting on the counter? The kids don't like cold syrup. THX!

Blogger Maria said...

Ingrid-The syrup keeps for a couple of weeks in the fridge. I would take it out and heat in the microwave...and whisk it, hot syrup is the best. If they don't like it hot, just whisk it and let it come to room temp. Let me know how it goes!
