I love baking french toast cause they use much less oil and baking also makes them more chewy on the inside but crispy around the edges. I put them in the fridge before baking for the bread to absorb the custard flavours and this made them fluffier on the inside.

Steps

1½ hours

1

Prepare custard by whisking eggs, milk, plain yoghurt, vanilla essence and cinnamon powder into a bowl.
2

Dip your bread in the custard on both sides and make sure bread is fully coated. Drip excess custard and place them in a baking dish.
3

Pour the excess custard into the baking dish and refrigerate for 1hr for the bread to absorb the custard and flavours (it's like marinating).
4

Preheat oven to 180°C for 20 minutes. Spray your oven tray with oil and lay the bread leaving space between them so that they don't stick together. Sprinkle a little oil on the upper side as well.
5

Bake for 8 minutes and flip for the other side to cook through. Bake for an additional 6 minutes.
6

Remove from the oven and serve with raspberry filling on top (check previous post for recipe) and garnish with extra raspberries and blueberries.
