Choosing day-old, stable bread
One or two days old white bread takes in egg milk without immediately disintegrating. Very fresh, airy bread becomes muddy faster when turning.

Kitchen know-how
Tips for French toast with cinnamon
Watering panes only for a short time
Pull the bread through the egg milk from both sides, but do not leave in it. The middle should become moist, while the slice remains stable.
Bake at medium heat
Butter may foam but not burn dark. Moderate heat cooks the egg milk inside, before the outside tans too strongly.
Variations
How to adapt this recipe

Frequently asked questions
FAQ about French toast with cinnamon
Day-old toast, white bread, yeast plait or brioche work well. Very coarse-pored bread requires a shorter soaking time so that it remains stable when roasting.
The bread was too fresh or lay too long in the egg milk. Dry thicker old slices only briefly and then put directly into the hot pan.
The slices feel slightly feathery instead of liquid soft and when cut, no raw egg milk is visible. Cook both sides at medium heat.
The egg milk can be mixed and cooled the evening before. However, the bread only immerses immediately before roasting, otherwise it loses its structure.
