I was even more impressed when I learned that french toast is thousands of years old
I made french toast today and didn't realize it would transform the center into a custard or whatever it is. It was a pleasant surprise, and surprisingly filling. It turned out well, I could maybe stand to soak it less thoroughly.

That's very believable. I didn't know how it was made until today, but whisking milk and eggs, soaking bread in it then frying it seems like a Schelling point of human cuisine 😆
I hope that bread is properly fermented
Maybe not. It was whole foods brioche 😅
you haven’t lived until you made french toast with real sourdough like the ancients!
I've got sourdough slices in my freezer, I'll try it with those next time.
I dunno I was just worried it wouldn't turn out good so I used a softer bread. But man, there is zero risk of dry french toast, so I think I'm good.
highly recommend finding the most stripped-down realest sourdough you can find (two or three ingredients) and going all in on it
That would be me making sourdough at home tbh. I have made artisan yeast bread before but not sourdough.
I’d say it counts as long as the dough is fermented!
Well in THAT case, I'll just have to hype myself up to make bread more often. And then maybe figure out the sourdough thing.
FWSY has a section on sourdough, so that would be my first pass. It's probably the only resource I need.
I hope you have or can make some good sourdough starter!
