Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices white bread (crusts removed)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) unsalted butter (for frying)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- maple syrup or powdered sugar (to serve)
Instructions
- Preparation: Using a rolling pin, trim bread crusts and flatten slices into thin, uniform sheets ensuring consistent texture and shape.
- Seasoning Blend: Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish, creating a fragrant coating mixture for the final transformation.
- Egg Wash Creation: Whisk eggs, whole milk, and pure vanilla extract until the liquid becomes a smooth, homogeneous mixture ready for bread immersion.
- Roll Formation: Brush each flattened bread slice with melted butter, then carefully roll into compact cylindrical shapes to create potential hollow centers.
- Coating Process: Thoroughly dunk each bread roll into the egg mixture, guaranteeing complete and even coverage across all exterior surfaces.
- Cooking Method: Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium temperature, carefully positioning rolls to achieve a golden-amber color, cooking 2-3 minutes per side until crisp and caramelized.
- Final Embellishment: Immediately transfer hot rolls from skillet and generously roll through prepared cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring complete and uniform coating.
- Serving Suggestion: Present warm rolls elegantly, drizzled with premium maple syrup or delicately dusted with powdered sugar for an indulgent finishing touch.
Notes
- Bread Selection Matters: Choose soft, fresh white bread with minimal air pockets for the smoothest, most uniform roll texture.
- Flatten Strategically: Roll bread evenly to prevent thick or thin spots that could disrupt cooking consistency and appearance.
- Temperature Control Critical: Maintain medium heat to prevent burning while ensuring inside cooks thoroughly and exterior develops golden-brown crispness.
- Coating Technique Impacts Flavor: Roll immediately after cooking while warm to help cinnamon-sugar mixture adhere completely and create a deliciously caramelized exterior.
