The Best French Toast Recipe



The Best French Toast Recipe


There is nothing better than the smell of buttered French Toast with a hint of cinnamon coming from your Kitchen. What a special treat it is to have this dish to start your day. 

All in all,  this is one of my favourite dishes for breakfast, so easy and fast to make. Now with all the different toppings that you can have, makes this the perfect "start for you day". As for me, it is butter, cinnamon and the best of the best "Canadian maple Syrop". 

Go ahead and try this awesome recipe and please tell me what did you add for the toppings. 



***********************************************************************************************************


Recipe;

4 Slices  - Sliced toast bread or any other type of bread.
1 - Egg
1/2 Tsp. - Vanilla extract
1/4 Cup -  Milk
Butter as needed

Toppings;
Butter
Cinnamon
Maple syrup
Icing sugar
Any fruit


For more information, please see video below.

What other breakfast can you make for your family that is so fast and easy. This combination of the bread, egg and toppings, makes this an outstanding dish. 







Make sure that you beat the egg mixture, very well until it is velvety smooth. Use a large plate to lay down the bread slices to soak up all the mixture evenly. 







Let the bread slice soak for at least 5 minutes or longer. In this way, the mixture will be soaked into the middle  of the bread, and thus making it moister all around. 



Once you add the bread, do not move it  for about a 1/2 minute,  so the mixture will solidify to the bread. If you move it at this stage, then it will go all over the place and  make a mess.   




Now go ahead and add your favorite toppings and make it your way. Do not forget to make extra because your Family will ask for more and you do not want to run out.

Mushroom Breadsticks - Pierogi Szwedzkie


Mushroom Breadsticks - Pierogi Szwedzkie


I remember when my Girlfriend  took me to a restaurant in Krakow Poland for the first time that served a very  strange pierogi. It was on display and it looked like something I never saw before. Being, at least  2 feet long I thought, how can they make any money just selling this funny mushroom breadstick. 

As it turned out, it was really a great meal, and I have to say that the place seemed to be full all the time, everyone gobbling  the thing down.   It was quite an experience and I have to admit that I did go back a few times. 

That is why I just had to come home and copycatted the recipe. Now that was not easy, but I stuck to it and it came out awesome like the real thing. it may not be as long as theirs  but just as tasty. 

Go ahead and try it, I am sure that it will be a pleaser. Please let me know how yours turned out. 




*************************************************************************************************************



Recipe:

1 lbs. -  Button or any type mushrooms
1/2 Cup - Butter
1 - Medium - Onion
1 Tsp. - Vinegar
1/2 Tsp. - Salt
1/2 Tsp. - Pepper


Topping 
1 - Egg yolk
Splash of water.

Black cumin as needed


Dough
Ready-made or homemade

2 cups - All purpose flour
1 Pkg. - Yeast
Pinch of salt
Splash of milk
2 Tsp. - Cooking oil
Water as needed


For more information please see the video below; 




*************************************************************************************************************



It is very important to let most of the water to evaporate from the mushrooms. I would say about 90% of it. Please do not think of draining the excess water and being done with it, because that is where the flavour is and I want to keep it in the mushroom, not down the drain.

Keep the mushroom piled in the middle and that will make the drying process go faster.Keep on stirring on the sides and piling it.  



Only add the butter and vinegar when the water has evaporated. If you skip this process, then your mushrooms will be very soggy and have no taste.








To make your life easier you can buy the ready-mix dough at your Supermarket or you make it from scratch. Here I used my food processor to mix up my dough then I let it rest for about 2 hours.






Your dough should be as thin as possible because you do not want a large puffy crust but a nice smooth and round finish.








Now you do not have to use the cardboard stencil like I did here, but I find this keeps them the same size. It takes out the guessing game of trying it free hand. 







Make a line with your mushroom mix and please try not to spread it around too much because then it will make  it harder to lock in the dough with mushroom at the sealing point. 

If you find that the dough slices have shrunken a bit, then just roll it a few times to get it back to its shape.






Now just roll it over and tap it in. making sure that the mushroom is in the rolled part.









Just roll the whole thing over and there you go, a perfect  breadstick.









Here I am using cornmeal so the dough will not stick when I am baking it. Now you can use other methods or even baking papers. 








Add the egg wash to  the tops of the sticks. Now I usually do not do the sides because I find that the yolk  accumulates at the bottom of the breadstick and burns during the baking. So I just cover the sides. 







Now to top it off "The Black Cumin". This gives a nice around taste  to this dish and this type of cumin is good for you. It just finishes it off to a perfect Breadstick. 









Your friends and Family will all love this recipe.

That I promise.

Roti Roti - Awesome



Roti Roti - Awesome

Now what could be better than a nice piece of  roti bread to go with your Indian dish�s or really any other one.  I like this  bread so much that sometimes I have it with just  jam or try adding some cheese to the top and put it under a grill  for about 30 seconds.

I �am sure that you will find this recipe so easy that you will be making it again and again.  Try it you will love the simplicity and  the simple taste that goes with everything.


Let me know how it turned out.  

**************************************************************************************************************

Recipe....

1 Cup - All purpose flour
1/2 Cup - Water, as needed
1 Tsp. - Cooking oil
1/3 to 1/2 Tbsp. - Salt

Makes two servings of Roti.


**************************************************************************************************************




Roti has to be one of the simplest bread recipes I know, just a few things from your Kitchen and your off.  Make extra for you will need it for it disappears fast.








In India and other places they use there hands to mix the  dough. Now I really believe that does a better job of mixing and I have to confess that I do use the method, but because of touching  my camera and   taking some scenes over again it  would cause problems with sticky dough on my hands. 







Don't  sweet, for you do not have to over work the dough, if fact too much kneading will give it a tougher texture. Just get  it to a point that it will not stick to your fingers nor your roller. 









First roll it into a ball and  press it with your fingers into a round flat disk. By using a roller or even a bottle will work-out just fine, also do not worry of it does not turn out perfectly round, it's all good.










Get a heavy fry pan and make sure the heat is up high, but keep an eye on it for it can burn really fast. In Indian they have a special  flat pan (called Tawa) the makes the perfect roti every time, but when you do not have then we use the next best thing.







I like to roll it around a open flame on a gas stove, but if yours is electric then it work also work. Now you will have to keep the heat setting down lower and move it around more because of the hot rings. Either way it will turn out great and everyone will love them.

Green Onion Bread -- Chinese Style




Green Onion Bread --  Chinese Style


Green Onion Bread   Chinese  style, now what could be better than this simple fast  bead recipe.  I know it does not look like the bread that you are use to, but it is awesome, has flavor  and goes with about anything you can make up.

Try it on its own or as an  appetizer,  just cut them up into squares and add really any topping and there you go  �bang�  the cheers from your  Party.  The best  part is if you need more you can make it  real fast. Make some extra for the freeze really well,   just let them thaw for a few minute and toss them into the toaster  and  there you go.


Please let me know how yours turned out�

**********************************************************************************************************

Recipe....

1 Cup - All purpose flour.
3 to 5 Stems - Green onions
1/2 Tsp. - Caster sugar
1/2 Tsp. - Sesame seed oil
1 Tbsp. - Cooking oil
1/2 Tsp. - Salt
1/2 Cup - Water as needed.

Options;
1/2 Tbsp. -  Olive oil
3 Gloves - Minced garlic.



**********************************************************************************************************




Remember to add a little water at a time for you want  the dough not to  stick to the sides of the bowl and  turn into a ball.  If you add too much  water then just  add some  more flour.









After you added the oil mixture to the  dough  then add as much as the green onions as you like. Go on try it also by a dding some minced garlic and really bring up the flavour.









Now at this point you should let the bread rest for about 15 to 20 minutes for the dough to rise just a bit, but it will not rise much because there is no yeast.  Also when you get them at this point you can freeze them and use them at a later date.








Keep an eye on the temperature it should be on med. high and there will be a little smoke. Before the first flip you should see a slight light browning half way up the side of the bread. Do not worry about flipping it over a few times for it will not hurt it, but do not press down on it.
