Overnight French Toast

This french toast can be made the night before and just baked in the morning. It is so simple, and so good. This recipe from The-Girl-Who-Ate-Everything.com allows you to enjoy breakfast with your family because all the work is done the night before. Perfect if you have overnight guests. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with pure maple syrup.

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 French Bread loaf cut into 1 1/2 inches thick slices
8 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 cup pecans, measured then chopped
1/8 teaspoon salt
maple syrup and powdered sugar for topping

Instructions

In a small bowl combine brown sugar and melted butter and pour on the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish.
Arrange slices of bread in the baking dish overlapping if necessary.
Combine milk, eggs, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and ginger in a bowl and pour evenly over bread slices.
Sprinkle chopped pecans over bread slices.
Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight.
In the morning, take the casserole out of the fridge for at least 10 minutes while you are preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
Bake casserole for 30-35 minutes.
If top starts browning too quickly place a foil loosely over the top of the casserole for the last 10 minutes or so.
You want it to cook long enough to make sure the bottom part is cooked but don't dry it out completely.
Remove casserole from oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar and maple syrup.
Serves 6-8.

English Muffin Bread

This English Muffin bread I found over at One Good Thing by Jillee is delicious, easy to make and frugal. It makes the most wonderful toast and my family actually prefers this over regular English Muffins. You just can’t beat homemade bread and there is nothing like waking up to the smell of the bread toasting that brings everyone to the breakfast table quickly. At our house, we love to spread butter and homemade strawberry jam on our warm toast. Paired with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee, it makes a great breakfast. This recipe makes 2 loaves of bread, so you can enjoy one in the morning and store the other one in the freezer for a different day. This toast makes excellent breakfast sandwiches too. What do you like on your toast?

English Muffin Bread

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups warm water
3 1/2 tsp. yeast
1 Tbsp. salt
1 1/2 Tbsp. sugar
5 1/2 cups flour

Instructions

With your Kitchen Aid Mixer mix the ingredients with your dough hook until it becomes a ball and no dough is left on the sides of the bowl. (about 4-5 minutes)
The dough will be VERY, VERY sticky.
Divide the dough into 2 well greased larger sized loaf pans with a wooden spoon and lightly even out the dough in the pan.
If you are going to touch the dough, you need to have floured hands.
Cover the loaf pans with a towel and let dough rise in the pans in a warm spot (on top of the oven while it is preheating is great) until dough reaches about to the top of the pans-about 30- 45 minutes.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until light golden brown.
Brush with melted butter and let cool.
Slice and toast.
* If freezing, let cool completely and store in a plastic freezer bag.
You may also slice this before freezing, if you think you might like to take one piece out at a time.
