preview

Check out my FREE blogging success masterclassSharing is caring!Jump to RecipeThis sourdough French toast casserole recipe is a rich and sweet custard baked with tangy sourdough bread, apples, cinnamon, and raisins for the perfect fall treat. A great way to use up loaves of sourdough bread that didn’t rise just right.The other day I was on the second rise for two loaves of my&nbsp;go-to sourdough bread recipe. If you’re brand new to the concept, traditionally made sourdough bread can take anywhere from 10-24 hours. It is made without conventional yeast packets, and uses a native yeast-filled starter for leavening.It’s a very slooooow process.About an hour before the loaves were all set to go in the oven, my husband brought the pans in. (I ferment them outside in the warmer months, so they rise more quickly.) He casually mentioned, “Oh yeah Eli shoved his hand in this one. I hope that doesn’t mess anything up.”Well, for my non-bread baking blog readers, a punch in a loaf of rising bread is a death blow for the entire operation.Fluffy sourdough bread mission aborted. These loaves would still be tasty, but feel more like bricks than blue-ribbon, prize-winning, sourdough bread.A run-in with a curious kid is not the only pitfall that can derail a bread making mission. I get messages from readers all the time who had various other things go wrong in the sourdough bread baking process.The starter wasn’t mature enough. They didn’t knead the dough long enough to develop the gluten. They let it rise too long. All this and more.All is not lost in this situation. There are plenty of recipes that work perfectly for dense, brick-like, sourdough bread.Now I imagine you’re a resourceful home cook like myself. There’s no way those long fermented, gut healthy loaves are going in the trash, even if they’ve been deflated by little hands.Enter this delicious, brick-redeeming recipe: easy french toast casserole with apple, cinnamon, &amp; raisin.I guess I have to thank my five-year-old bread-punching son, Eli, for forcing me to think of it. All the flavor, and health benefits, of the sourdough is maintained. It’s a perfect dish for breakfast. Sometimes I even make a pan of it around mid-morning to have it ready to go for lunch.I love that it is full of protein, gut-healthy fermented grains, and sweetened with natural maple syrup.Shoot, sometimes I even make this recipe with bread that came out alright. It’s just that good.Other ideas include: Sourdough stuffing, bread pudding, strata, bread crumbs, and croutonsThis post may contain affiliate links, which means I make a small commission at no extra cost to you.&nbsp;Large bowlApple Peeler, Corer, SlicerMeasuring SpoonsThrive Market Raisins and CinnamonOrganic RaisinsOrganic CinnamonI love to buy einkorn, gelatin, supplements, avocado mayo, salt, creamed coconut, coconut milk, and spices from here.

The best bread to use is a softer bread like sandwich bread, French bread, challah, etc. These work better to make a richer french toast casserole recipe. Artisan bread would also work, as well as a loaf that doesn’t work out very well.Whole milk:&nbsp;I like using full-fat milk because it gives it a richer, more custard like egg mixture.Maple syrup or honeyEggsCinnamonVanillaApples, peeled and choppedRaisinsPreheat the oven to 350 degrees.Cut the loaf of sourdough bread into one-inch cubes.&nbsp;Place the bread cubes in a 9 x 13 glass baking dish or casserole dish.In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla.Add the chopped apples and raisins to the bread.Pour the egg mixture over the top of the bread and allow to stand for 10-15 minutes, or place in the fridge overnight covered with plastic wrap to make this into an overnight french toast casserole. The goal is to saturate the bread with the mixture.Bake for about 30 minutes until it starts to turn golden brown around the edges and cooked through in the center.Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.This sourdough french toast casserole tastes delicious drizzled with some real maple syrup or raw organic honey.If you make this recipe and love it, I would love if you gave it 5 stars!

I had made a batch of sour dough bread that turned out very dry and bleh, but did not want to waste it. So I froze them until I could think of something useful. This was the perfect way to use them! I looked over your recipes, and took ideas from them. I used the basic recipe (no apples or raisins), added cream cheese, and spread some peach jam on top. DELISH!ReplyMade this last weekend and it was amazing. Going to serve throughout the holiday season!ReplyWe made this- apples and raisins. We used a whole wheat store bought loaf, everyone loved it.Will make againReplyI love everything we have tried Lisa. And sourdough has been a lifesaver with my daughter. She loves it! We are having this to celebrate the beginning of Christmas break 🙂 I am using your Artisan bread (scenario 1 because I made the dough before I could find the dough hook 🤪) and cranberry sauce mixed with cream cheese 🙂ReplyThis is so great! I omitted the apples and raisins because of my picky eaters and it still tasted fantastic!ReplyWe had this for dinner last night after discovering that I was missing an ingredient for the meal I had planned! All 5 of my kids had seconds! My daughter whipped up some cream to top it with, and everyone loved it. I just used the end of a few loaves that had dried out a bit, and I subbed in blueberries for the raisins. Delish! Next time I’ll probably use a little less butter on top since it overflowed in my oven. Thanks for the recipe!ReplyDo you think I can make this with coconut milk? I’m lactose intolerant? I can handle butter but not milk.ReplyThere is no salt in this recipe. I added some to mine.do you add some to yours, Lisa?ReplyTrying this recipe this morning!ReplyWould freezing this before baking work or would it be soggy?ReplyI’m so glad you’re here!
