Cinnamon French Toast (Kneaders Copycat Recipe)
Description
The Cinnamon French Toast (Kneaders Copycat Recipe) features thick slices of cinnamon bread fully dipped in a custard mix of eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and brown sugar, then cooked on a preheated griddle until crisp and golden on the edges but soft inside. The caramel syrup is prepared by combining brown sugar, heavy cream, corn syrup, and vanilla heated until smooth, resulting in a luscious topping that complements the warmly spiced bread. This French toast balances a tender interior with a slightly crisp exterior and a sweet finish from the syrup.
It is served best topped with sliced strawberries and whipped cream or cool whip for contrast in freshness and texture. The bread choice is key: thick slices hold up well without falling apart during soaking, and cinnamon bread emphasizes the flavor theme. Variations with brioche or challah are possible if preferred.
To ensure good texture, slice the bread thick and thoroughly coat each piece in the egg mixture. Cooking over medium heat allows for even browning without burning. The caramel syrup can be made ahead and reheated gently. Strawberries add a fresh tartness that balances the richness.
