    I ran a real bed and breakfast for 7 years, and without a doubt, my best recipe was for French toast made with Portuguese sweet bread, which is lighter and airer than challah, and needs to be frozen to slice and soak, and can only be soaked for about 2-3 minutes.
    The batter is milk, eggs, and dark rum, and served with real maple syrup. It puffs up like a souffle. Collapses, too. lol
    Leftovers make fantastic sandwiches.
    Party on!

    I'm French and so proud that our little boy won. In France, french toast is called "lost bread" because we mostly use hard bread (the bread that have been lost) to make it. A quick, easy and delicious way to transform what could have been thrown in the trash.
    I have a little lexical question, do you call everything "bread" in the US ? Because for what i can see this is not bread, this is brioche. Is brioche considered as a type of bread ?
    Good video anyway, thx.

    • @hypnosesgodchild
      @hypnosesgodchild 2 роки тому +2

      yea brioche is considered bread
      idk but i think in most parts of the world, any yeasted dough thats made mostly with flour that creates this rly fluffy dough is called bread so.... like sandwich bread is bread, brioche is bread, challah is bread, baguette is bread, ciabatta is bread, etc
      for croissants most ppl will consider it a pastry or a cross between a bread and a pastry
      i mean brioche is just an eggy buttery sweet bread no? why is it not considered a bread in france? is it considered a cake instead or is it just its own thing? (just curious hehe)
      ok but one thing i dont get (im not american) is the fact that banana bread is called BREAD. its a cake. its a damn cake u cant tell me otherwise. its literally a dessert

    • @LordFinn
      @LordFinn 2 роки тому +1

      @@hypnosesgodchild Thanks for the response and explanations.
      The brioche in France is in the category of "viennoiseries", like croissants. Viennoiseries are products whose recipes are similar to that of bread or puff pastry, but fattier and sweeter, that brings them closer to pastry (eggs, butter, milk, cream , sugar…) We usually eat them at breakfast or at 4pm.

      bread is just a rly broad term i guess
      i think brioche is classified as bread in english and not "a cross between pastry/bread" (eg. croissants) is bc its not crunchy/flaky. like yes it is rly buttery and sweet, but the texture is closer to bread, so its just considered a sweet bread

    I only make French Toast with eggnog (buy it and freeze it) Must always have cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamon in it.
    Once you master waffles... you can make them chocolate, eggnog flavoured, or anything you desire -- try adding your sourdough discard ;)
    As for pancakes (I can't stand them) but I did learn a cool way to make them on a griddle: Cinnamon bun pancakes >>> Make them in long, very thin strips (not much thicker than a crepe); sprinkle a mix of crushed pecans, cinnamon/cardamon, & brown sugar down the centre before your first flip. Barely cook them after the flip. Roll them up towards you and stand vertically on the plate. Squeeze bottle of cinnamon bun icing and your fav syrup - kids and adults love them.

    Probably the same ranking for me. I don't normally have challah or brioche or anything that fancy in the house, but sometimes I get some French bread that my mom makes, and that stuff makes excellent French toast. As for pancakes, I tried making them with yeast instead of baking powder one time, and I really don't like the baking soda/powder ones anymore. They just taste metallic and unnatural, probably because of the sodium. NaHCO3 turns into Na2CO3, which is pretty caustic. I use Na2CO3 to develop film, I don't want to eat it.
    As for waffles, they're fine, but usually too much trouble to make.

    Torrijas are 100 times better than French toast. They're basically the same, but torrijas are deep-fried and then coated in sugar and cinnamon. Maybe too much for breakfast, but they're so good that you can eat them whenever you want.
