To prepare the bread: Add the ingredients to the Panasonic Hard-Crust Breadmaker in the order listed above. Select the 'brioche function' (number 12). The breadmaker will rest, mix, rise and bake the ingredients.
Optional: During the rising stage, carefully remove the brioche from the breadmaker. Remove the kneading blade from the bowl. Brush the bowl with oil and replace the brioche. Brush the top of the brioche with oil and return it to the breadmer to rise and bake.
When the bread is ready, remove it from the breadmaker and let it cool. Use a serrated knife to cut slices out of the bread.
To make the french toast: Add all of the mixture ingredients to a shallow bowl and mix until combined. Dip each slice of bread into the mixture and set aside.
Heat a saucepan to medium-high and brush with oil. Fry each side of the battered toast for 3 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve the french toast with ice cream, maple syrup or as desired. Enjoy!
