Ingredients
Scale
Bread:
- 24 Hawaiian sweet rolls
Main Ingredients:
- 6 eggs
- 1/3 cup (79 milliliters) milk
- 4 tablespoons (56 grams) butter
Seasoning and Flavoring:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Craft a luscious egg mixture in a spacious baking dish by whisking together eggs, milk, aromatic cinnamon, fragrant vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well-blended.
- Gently immerse Hawaiian rolls into the creamy mixture, ensuring each roll is thoroughly coated. Allow the rolls to luxuriate and absorb the flavors for 5 minutes, tenderly flipping midway through the soaking process.
- Carefully transfer the saturated rolls onto a waiting plate, preparing them for their golden transformation.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat (around 350°F). Carefully place the rolls into the sizzling pan, cooking each batch until achieving a rich, caramelized golden-brown exterior. This process takes approximately 1 minute per side, totaling about 6 minutes per batch.
- As each batch completes, relocate the toasted rolls to a foil-covered platter, maintaining their warmth and preventing cooling.
- Briefly clean the skillet, replenish with fresh butter, and repeat the cooking process for the remaining rolls, ensuring consistent color and texture.
- Present the French toast rolls while warm, accompanied by pure maple syrup, a delicate dusting of powdered sugar, and a vibrant scatter of fresh seasonal berries for a delightful finishing touch.
Notes
- Soak rolls thoroughly to ensure each bite is equally moist and flavorful, allowing the egg mixture to penetrate deeply.
- Avoid overcrowding the skillet when cooking to achieve perfect golden-brown edges and prevent steaming instead of frying.
- Customize this dish for dietary needs by using gluten-free rolls, dairy-free milk alternatives, and egg substitutes like mashed banana or commercial egg replacer.
- Elevate the breakfast experience by preparing the egg mixture the night before, allowing spices to develop richer, more intense flavors and saving morning preparation time.
