What is Texas toast?
Everything is bigger in Texas, right? Well Texas toast is a larger slice of bread that makes a perfect French toast. The thinner slices of bread (regular slices) work okay, but the bread tends to get too soggy with the batter. A Texas toast French toast doesn't tend to be soggy. The bread is thick enough where the batter doesn't have to soak all the way through, unless you want it to.
Baking the bread
The pumpkin French toast is cooked on the stove. However, if you like the bread to be a little firmer, you can place the bread in the oven on a low temperature, 170 degrees for 10 minutes or so before eating.
Alternatives
- Almond milk can be used in place of the milk.
- Gluten free bread can be used in place of the Texas toast.
- Gluten free flour can be used in place of the all purpose flour.
- Syrup can be used to top the French toast. So can whipped cream or powdered sugar.
Storing leftovers
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. They need to be kept in an airtight container.
