@_lacebakes_: ✨ THE 12 DAYS OF BREADMAS ✨Day 8: Overnight Baked French Toast Ingredients 400g (14oz) stale bread, cut into 1-inch cubes 6 large eggs 475 ml (2 cups) whole milk 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon For the caramel: 200g (1 cup) brown sugar 115g (1/2 cup) salted butter 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Pinch flaky sea salt For the topping: 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1.5 tablespoons salted butter Customise: Add a handful of chocolate chips, some orange zest, dried cranberries/raisins etc. * I used about 1/4 of a loaf of my chocolate chip bread recipe. Method Grease a 9x13 baking dish (or similar) using softened butter. Place the brown sugar, butter, vanilla and a pinch of flaky salt into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for about 4 minutes, whisking occasionally to combine into a thick caramel. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon and then dump the cubed bread into the bowl and stir to combine. You want a bit of excess liquid in the bowl but you don’t want the cubes to be swimming it it - add a little more cubed bread if needed. Decant half of the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, drizzle over the caramel into an even layer and then top with the remaining bread mixture. Cover with plastic wrap or a removable cover and place into fridge overnight. The next morning, remove from the fridge as the oven preheats to 175C/350F. Remove the plastic wrap. Combine the sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle it over the top of the bread and then dot the butter evenly across the surface. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the top is a deep golden brown (the sugar on top should be a bit caramelised). Remove from oven, and serve immediately. Maple syrup is optional - it depends on how sweet you like your breakfast! Serve at brunch alongside eggs, crispy bacon and some fresh fruit. Leftovers can be treated like bread pudding…warm up and top with ice cream or warm custard for a super comforting treat! #breadtok #frenchtoast #brunchrecipe
