The Moarning Loaf

French Toast Loaf

One of my favorite loafs that came out of that oven. Its sweet tasty  full of cinnamon and great things. I dont quite know what was in it but I'm sure my husband will fill it in later. He fixes most of my horrible grammer anyway. I honestly dont know what I would do without spellcheck and I still seem to not know how to fully utilize it.

Anyway, great rise on this loaf with a fantastic burst. Chris always complains when he gets a big burst on his loaf or an "explosion" as he calls it. I love it, why keep to any constraints, why should we limit to where the the loaf can stretch to, I love it.

 Told you, the loaf was fantastic, now only if you could taste this through the computer your life would be complete.

Chris here,
I picked up some bread from a Scratch Bakery in Portland, Maine one day, and although my housemates and I did our best to eat it in a timely manner, there was some hardening of the crust in a few days time and we needed to do something with it. French toast ensued. The recipe for vegan french toast is simple. Olive oil, Flax egg(flax meal soaked in 3 parts warm water), Nutritional yeast to taste, Molasses, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Allspice, Salt, and anything else you want in on your french toast. Dip your near stale bread in this mixture and fry in a cast iron at medium-low heat until golden brown. Unfortunately we have no pictures of the french toast that was made, but we do have the result of the leftover batter. The great thing about Vegan french toast mixture is that it stores easily and for a very long time.  But, if you are desperate to use it up, it goes great in bread!

I made a pizza dough style bread, using consistency of the dough as my measuring devices. I put water in a bowl, then a few tablespoons of Jackie, a 1.2 year old sourdough starter, and added flour while stirring with a rubber spatula. After the mixture looked like thick pancake batter, I stopped and let it sit for a few hours. Then, proceeded to add a few pinches of salt and more flour until it took on the consistency of pizza dough. Easily workable with my hands, I laid this mixture out onto a floured surface and stretched it to its limits. Then gently oiled the surface of the dough, placed the remaining vegan french toast mixture onto the bread and rolled it up into a log. This sat for a few more hours before it was baked at 450 for 32 minutes.

Easy, Simple, Fun, and we got to feel good that we didn't waste any batter.

Cheers.
