French Bread Baking Pan

Anyone have a delicious French Toast Cake recipe?

I might have the name wrong but this is what the local bakery calls it. They make this amazing dessert that looks like chunks of bread in a casserole dish that has a cheese and a berry jam of sorts in spots throughout the pan. They bake it and then cut a piece out of the casserole dish and serve it with maple syrup and whip cream. It's incredible! The bakery said it's a secret family recipe and they won't share how to make it and I can't seem to find anything online like it. Anyone know a recipe?

It's bread pudding with the addition of jam and cheese baked into it -- then they dish it up and top with the maple syrup and whipped cream. You can very easily duplicate it -- bread pudding tastes just like French Toast.

* 6 slices day-old bread
* 2 tablespoons butter, melted
* 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
* 4 eggs, beaten
* 2 cups milk
* 3/4 cup white sugar
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Break bread into small pieces into an 8 inch square baking pan. Drizzle melted butter or margarine over bread. If desired, sprinkle with raisins.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Beat until well mixed. Pour over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until bread is covered and soaking up the egg mixture.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly tapped.

French Bread Baking

Why does the bread machine say "rest"?

I've noticed in the past when I've baked bread in the bread maker that it will just sit there and "rest" for a while before it starts mixing. Why does it do that? I'm crunched for time and am making some french bread dough and the timer said it will take 3.5 hours. Well it's "resting," and I need it to hurry up, so what is the purpose of this resting business and can I skip it?
The yeast is still in the dispenser.

If you don't wish to wait for the bread machine to cycle properly, make your french bread by hand!

Put your ingredients in bowl and mix them up. Knead the dough for at least 15 minutes and allow it to "rest" til doubled in size, punch down and knead again for 15 minutes. Allow bread to rest 5 minutes and shape into loaves, allow it to "rest" til doubled, cut the traditional slashes in top, brush with egg white and sprinkle on sesame seeds or whatever. Bake.

Zoirushi BBCC-X20 Bread Machine - a Dream Come True

Everyone laughs at the thought of a young bachelor at the store, standing in the bread aisle completely dumbfounded at the sheer number of choices in front of him. It's likely that we all laugh because we understand the dilemma-how can an easy choice such as picking up a loaf of bread be so difficult? In truth, with there being so many different additives and preservatives added into breads today, sometimes it's hard to tell just exactly what one is really paying for, or how healthy that selection is. This is where the Zojirushi BBCC-X20 Bread Machine comes into play. With a little bit of time and effort, even our young bachelor can make his very own bread and know exactly what is going into each piece.

Unlike many current bread makers, which use vertical, round baking pans, the Zojirushi BBCC-X20 Bread Machine uses a traditional rectangular pan to bake a normal-looking two-pound loaf. This makes it much easier for using the bread in sandwiches. The horizontal baking pan also allows this bread machine to be used in baking cakes and even in making meatloaf; and it comes with presets for both.

In fact, this bread machine takes most of the guesswork out of the process. Simply follow the recipes included in the owners manual by adding in the proper ingredients, then select the baking cycle and what kind of crust you want (light, medium, dark), and let the machine do the rest. Two paddles get to work kneading the dough, and then you can watch the bread rise through the wide viewing window. When it is done baking, it will keep it warm for up to an hour afterward so you can have warm, freshly baked bread even if you step away from the kitchen before it's done. Or better yet, use the Zojirushi BBCC-X20 Bread Machine's built in timer to have your bread freshly made just as you wake up in the morning or just as you step in the door from work at the end of the day.

While most people who wish to make their own bread are content with plain bread, the Zojirushi BBCC-X20 Bread Machine makes it easy to try out many different kinds of foods. It comes with a host of different preset cycles, so the ambitious cook can try using it to make jams, cakes, sourdough breads, pizza dough, pretzel dough, cinnamon roll dough, meatloaf, and even lasagna.
