9 Grain French Toast Food

THE BEST FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F.
• Cut the bread into 8 slices about 3/4-inch thick. Arrange them in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet (it's ok if they overlap). Bake, flipping them halfway through, until very lightly golden on both sides, about 12 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheet until ready to use. Reduce the oven temperature to 200 degrees F.
• Vigorously whisk the eggs in a large bowl until blended and no streaks of whites remain. Add the half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg and whisk until completely incorporated. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish.
• Gently press 2 slices of the toasted bread into the custard. Turn to coat and then gently press down on the bread until you feel it start to soak up the custard-this is key for a luscious, moist texture. Let the bread soak for about 1 minute per side; it should feel heavy but still hold its shape and not fall apart.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook 2 of the soaked bread slices until they are a deep golden brown, the custard has set and the insides are cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. The center of the bread will puff slightly while the crust will contract, making it look puckered. You may have to alternate between medium and medium-low heat if the bread browns too quickly or not fast enough. Transfer the slices to a rimmed baking sheet and hold in the warm oven. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread.
• Serve the French toast with butter, maple syrup and a sprinkle of confectioners' sugar.

WHOLE WHEAT FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Cut the bread into desired shape (we made triangles).
• Whisk together the eggs, cream or milk, and vanilla in a shallow dish.
• One-by-one dip the bread into the egg mixture until it is evenly coated on both sides. Let the excess run off before transferring the pieces to a plate.
• If you have a griddle turn it to 325 degrees F. If you don't have a griddle don't fret...any old sauté pan will do. If using a pan place it over medium heat.
• Melt a teaspoon or two of butter in your pan/griddle then add the first batch of battered bread. The key is for the finished product to be cooked all the way through by the time the outside turns brown so the heat should not be too high.
• Cook until golden brown on both sides. Add a little more butter for a second batch if necessary. Serve warm with pure maple syrup and a side of fruit. Enjoy!

WHOLE WHEAT FRENCH TOAST RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat Griddler, fitted with the griddle plates, to 375°F (190°C), and grease with nonstick spray.
• Use a whisk to beat the eggs in a 9x13-inch (23x33-cm) casserole dish until smooth.
• Add the milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt, and whisk until smooth and well combined.
• Dunk the bread in the batter, 4 slices at a time, until just soaked. Do not let the bread soak in the wet ingredients too long or it will become too wet and fall apart when you attempt to pick it up.
• Transfer the soaked bread to the Griddler and cook for 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, and serve.
• Enjoy!

9 GRAIN CEREAL BREAD AND ROLLS

Steps:

• Place ingredients in bread machine, using either the order given in your bread machine manual, or start with wet ingredients first and add dry ones last, ending with the yeast on top.
• Select basic bread setting if just letting the breadmaker bake it. (I've never tried it this way.) I like to select the dough setting, and form the bread or rolls myself.
• If the dough cycle was selected in the previous step, form the dough in desired shapes and placed in greased pan(s). This recipe makes about 15 rolls, 2 medium loaves of bread, or 1 large loaf and a few extra rolls.
• Cover dough with plastic wrap or floursack towel, and let rise in warm, draft-free spot. About 25 minutes for rolls, or 40 minutes for bread works for me.
• Make sure to pre-heat oven to 350* about 10-15 minutes before rolls/bread are to be baked.
• Bake rolls 12-15 minutes, bread 20 minutes. I've found that I can put the rolls in a light colored pan and the large bread loaf in a dark pan and they will come out at about the same time.
• If you want a loaf that isn't quite as heavy, you can do just 1 cup 9 grain cereal and 2 cups flour, and even substitute white flour for the oats. The more white flour you use, the lighter your bread will be, and you won't need quite as much yeast or vital wheat gluten.

• Mix yogurt sauce ingredients. Top french toast with yogurt sauce and thawed blueberries.
