Hi, everyone! I'm Masa
This time I'd like to share
a tasty dish for brunch
It's "French toast"!
This dish
was from other country
There are all kinds of French toast
in Japan as well. The ways to make a French toast
are not that hard, with bread
and eggs. Let the bread soak in the eggs
sear them and it's done
This time, the recipe I'm about to share
is close to the ways
they cook in a Japanese hotel
It will need some time to prep,
but not complicated, do it this way
you can enjoy a aromatic
and with a super soft texture
French toast! Let's get started!
The bread I'll use this time is
baguette
When we make a French toast
it's all about the toast
usually, we'll use a square-shape toast
That is OK
Why I use baguette because I like
the crispy skin outside
so I will use baguette in this video
Also, an advantage for making a French toast
like this kind of bread, you can't finish the whole bread at a time
with the rest of the bread
Baguette will become really hard
when you put it till the next day
It's really hard to deal with
With this recipe
soak the bread with eggs
and sear them let them back into a soft texture
Half a baguette
Slice into about 3cm thick
put them in a deep tray
Prepare appaleil
3 eggs
Beat them
25g of sugar
180 cc of milk
Pour appaleil on the bread
Let every bread dipped in it evenly
Rest them in a fridge about 6 hrs then turn sides
After turning, keep resting for 6 more hrs
(Beginning VS After 12 hrs)
This is the bread I prepped yesterday
They will keep absorbing the appaleil
and become larger
After suck up the eggs about 6 hrs
you can flip them
and keep on resting the bread
Then it'll become like this tomorrow
This step is very simple
for example, you prep the bread in the afternoon
then flip the bread before you sleep and put them back into the fridge
the next morning
it's ready for cooking
Turn up the gas to medium-low heat
half a tsp of butter
Wait until the butter melts
Dip the bread the other side with more appaleil before searing them
Move them for evenly dipped in butter
Flip sides till the bread turns to golden
Turn to low heat
Add a lid
Keep on searing
2 minutes later..
Switch the gas off
Rest about 2 minutes
Use the remaining heat to let the bread cooked through
2 minutes later..
Flip again
Turn up to high heat
It's done until the bread gets crispy on the outside!
Just like pudding with a soft texture
Some blue berries
Some tangerines
Some pomegranate
Nuts
Honey
Icing sugar
Mint
Wow, now French toast
with a good smell
is done!
I'll use a knife..
Because the bread sucked up all the appaleil for a long time
it's filled with
the appaleil, as you can see
it's quite
soft and fluffy like a pudding,
eggs, milk
and steam them
so the bread is really fluffy!
You can see it like this!
Smells good! Maybe it's too big for me...
Let's dig in!
(I can't swallow that with this size...)
Let me have some coffee
French toast is really a delicacy
the texture is super soft
there's a taste like pudding
within every bite
I used high heat in the end
let the bread had a crispy skin outside
you can enjoy them both at the same time
Like so,
will spend more time to prep
however, it's really worth it! About the steps
you can slice the bread
in the afternoon and dip
flip them before you sleep
keep them in the fridge
Wait till tomorrow morning
you can start to cook straightly
Add some fruits as garnishes
or yogurt
If you all want to have
a special kind of bread
for breakfast or brunch
You must try this out! Thanks for watching!
