Annie Golden Bread Food

CANADIAN FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon together until the mixture is completely blended and smooth.
• Stir the milk into the egg mixture until it is fully incorporated.
• Place the slices of bread into the egg mixture, turn them over to coat all the surfaces, and allow the bread to soak for 5 minutes.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet set over medium heat. Cook 2 slices of soaked bread in the melted butter for 3 minutes.
• Turn the slices of French toast over and cook them for an additional 3 minutes, until they are golden brown and lightly crispy on each side.
• Repeat with the remaining butter and soaked bread. Serve with maple syrup to taste.

ANNIE GOLDEN BREAD

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in the warm water. Cover with a towel and set aside for about 15 minutes. When you come back it should be ready.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the milk, the olive oil, 4 cups of the flour and the salt; stir until well combined.
• Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition.
• When the dough has pulled together but is still sticky, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes.
• Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and put in a warm place to rise until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
• While the bread is rising get your butter garlic mixture ready and grate your cheeses.
• Take a mass of garlic, a head is not too much and saute it in a stick of butter until it is lightly brown and the butter is reeking of garlicky goodness. If desired, chop 10 anchovies and throw them in the butter. (Pesto also works, play with it.).
• The cheese; whatever you've got, although the sharper the better. 3 to 5 cups and some pine nuts if you have them, a few chopped olives are good too.
• Get your biggest springform pan out and put a sheet of parchment in the bottom, oil the sides.
• Oil your hands and pick the dough a ball at a time, roll in your hand, dip in the butter and place into the pan, keep doing it leaving about 1/2 inch of space between the balls. Got a layer? Take big handfuls of cheese and throw it over the whole thing. Pine nuts and olives, throw then in now too.
• Hungry yet?.
• Do it again.
• At the end you should have about 3 layers of cheese and bread.
• Cover and set aside for an hour or so until it is springy.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake for about 50 minutes until is is puffy and golden and just a touch crisp on top.
• When you serve it to your guests let them grab the balls by hand and tear the bread apart. It will give you a chance to tell them the story of a little girl from Brooklyn singing in a rock band in the East Village who got discovered by Milos Forman and cast in the film Hair.
