Rum Raisin French Toast

This has to be the all time best

Cinnamon Raisin bread

which turns into

world class French toast.

Open 

The Baking Bible

and be happily surprised by a very easy recipe.

Sponge

Cinnamon Bread

can often be sickly sweet

with an overly spiced

 dense texture. 

Not this recipe.

Dough

The ingredients are simple enough: 

water, unbleached flour, 

yeast, honey, dried milk powder,

yeast, salt, raisins, brown sugar, granulated sugar,

cinnamon and butter.

A few warm risings with a cold 

refrigerator rise

And a lovely easy to work with dough

evolves.

Baked and cooled

Sliced soaking in the French toast custard

(cinnamon, eggs, cream, milk, salt, sugar,vanilla and rum)

This is hands down better

than any pricey

Sunday brunch.
