Pumpkin French Toast

Pumpkin french toast is made like regular french toast, but with pumpkin yeast bread. Makes a great fall breakfast!

About once a year, I make pumpkin yeast bread. Which is not like regular pumpkin breads–it’s more like a savory sandwich bread. It doesn’t take long to start drying out, as homemade bread tends to do. But when it does it makes great pumpkin french toast.

Pumpkin French Toast

• 2/3 cup milk
• 4 eggs
• 2 tbsps maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 6 slices pumpkin yeast bread

Step 01: Whisk together ingredients and dip the bread in the mixture.

Step 02: Cook french toast on medium-high heat until golden brown. Serve with favorite topping.

Optional: Use a cookie-cutter to cut the bread into pumpkins before cooking, if desired.

You can obviously do this with whatever bread you want (Pepperidge Farm’s Pumpkin Spice toast bread is great). I really like it with the yeast bread. And it gives me something to do with the bread once it stops being fresh enough for regular sandwiches. 

I cut thick slices of bread for the pumpkin french toast, so it goes through the remaining loaf quickly. 

What do you do with your homemade bread once it starts drying out? Let me know in the comments!
