Sourdough French Toast

My dear Sourdoughmaniacs,

Having left over sourdough bread which turned a bit dry? Hard to imagine, I know (is that even possible, you may ask), but I tell you …
I have just the thing needed to fix it: the recipe for sourdough French toast.

For 4 very hungry rumbling bellies you’ll need:

?12 pieces of 1- or 2-days old sourdough bread (ideally white, half-white or mixed) 
? 3 whole eggs
? 200 g milk
? 4 pinches of salt
?1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (for sweet French toast) 

To bake with: a bit of butter or oil

  • In a bowl whisk the eggs, salt, and milk until thoroughly combined. If you are making sweet French toast, add in the vanilla extract as well. 
  • Dip the bread into the batter twice for the best result, especially if it is already a bit older and dryer.
  • Then slowly fry the soaked slices on both sides on a medium high heat in a well oiled or buttered skillet. 
  • The toast is ready when it is wonderfully golden brown. 
  • After baking, let the French toast slices rest on a paper towel for a few seconds to soak up excess oil. 
  • Serve the toast slices hot and without any toppings if you are going for a savory option.

If you enjoy them sweet, dust them with powdered sugar and top with seasonal fruits, jam, butter, whipped cream, or spread of choice.

Yours truly fermented,

Anita
