French Toast

I made French Toast today with the Sourdough bread that I baked the other day.  Sourdough made at home does get stale quicker than other breads.  However it makes a great French Toast.  Here is my recipe

2 eggs
1 teaspoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of Saigon Cinnamon
1 cup of milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Mix the sugar, cinnamon  and milk and then add the eggs.  Whisk until it is all combined and then add the vanilla.   It will look at little different due to the spice but it cooks the same and is much better.  Dip the bread in the mix and cook in a non stick pan.  Serve with warm Maple Syrup. 

This is great with any day old bread.

Good bread

I made my first loaves of sourdough.  I must say the hardest part is the time.  You do have to be patient. However it is worth the time needed.  I encourage you to try it.  I am making more tomorrow as gifts and trying so variations.  One is an overnight version that promises a more tangy bread. I can hardly wait!!

Stay tuned!

Sourdough Bread

I got my Christmas present early!  I ordered some sourdough starter and it arrived yesterday. I will let you know how it goes over the next few days.  I hope to have some sourdough breads to give as part of my Christmas presents this week.

While I did order my starter, you can also create your own.  It is easy and just take some time and patience. I will have recipes tomorrow.  Right now I have to check on my starter and feed it!
