I said FIVE MINUTES because the recipe I’m using comes from Artisan Bread in Five which is based around the concept of baking bread with just five minutes of prep for the dough. No snub noses here.īut know this: I AM pressed for time 99% of the times that I’m making something like this for some kind of brunch event and I STILL find it worth the extra five minutes that it takes to make the homemade dough. If I were really pressed for time, I might just go there.
K, it might be obvious which one I’m pushing for here, but let me just say this – I am not above the canned biscuit situation.
Homemade brioche that will blow your mind with how easy and amazingly delicious it is. Store bought pre-made dough from a can, like those biscuits that everyone uses for everything. I know, I know, having people over sometimes feels a little panicky, but brunch seems moderately approachable when it comes to hosting, right? French Toast Casserole is your jam for this. You’re going to need some help with this one. Such as golden brown French Toast baked in a large dish and bombed with ricotta and berries. This French Toast Casserole is meant to be shared with all your best people – I mean, this heavy dish of breakfast glory is going to weight at least 800 pounds, so text your squad NOW, girlfriend. Just loosen up already.īut there comes a time in life where you have to ask yourself the most important question: am I willing to get my bake on in order to end up with a big old school style of everything-in-one-large-pan French Toast Casserole on my table?įrench Toast Casserole – let’s break it down.Ī) French Toast because breakfast is so good and carbs are life, B) Casserole because it is fun to share food, and C) bonus note that this is not a super flexible recipe necessarily, but to my comments above about it being fussy and all that? this is actually a relatively easy recipe as far as homemade completely from scratch baking awesomeness goes. I mean, you cannot adjust these things real-time when you are working with fussy ingredients like YEAST and EGGS and BUTTER and FLOUR and by the way – is my oven temperature possibly off by a few degrees? Ugh, baking. I have gotten so … I don’t want to say sloppy, but that’s sort of what it is … can we just say casual to preserve my self esteem? I’ve gotten so CASUAL with the process of just cooking and adjusting on the go for easy dinner recipes (taste // add more salt // taste again // give it a shot of lemon zest // more tasting // roast it a little longer) that I feel like I’ve totally lost my stamina and patience with baking. But there’s that one little thing that I UNLove = the lack of flexibility. you might be the most domestically gifted person alive right now. Its for these reasons and more that many French toast recipes call for thick-sliced brioche. Its high butter and egg content makes it an ideal companion for the rich custard made with eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla. you have just made baking history with your skills. Brioche is everything a perfect French toast bread should be: thick and sturdy with a tender, plush crumb. #FRENCH TOAST BISCUIT LOVE FULL#
because when that beautifully deep skillet with golden brown French Toast and berries lands on the table, in a moment of transformation you go from regular person to full blown BOSS. Love = the taste-testing along the way. what else is a spatula for though?
