Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Seasonings:
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Carefully slice 12 Hawaiian rolls horizontally, creating two halves that will absorb the creamy custard perfectly.
- In a medium mixing bowl, vigorously whisk 4 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until the mixture becomes smooth and well-combined.
- Submerge each roll half into the custard mixture, allowing 30 seconds of soaking on each side so the bread absorbs the rich, flavorful liquid completely.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat (375°F), ensuring the pan is evenly heated before adding the soaked roll halves.
- Gently place the custard-soaked roll halves into the hot skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the rolls carefully, cooking the second side for an additional 3-4 minutes until both sides achieve a beautiful caramelized color.
- Transfer the French toast rolls to a serving platter, then dust generously with powdered sugar for a sweet, delicate finish.
- Serve immediately with warm maple syrup and your favorite fresh berries or additional toppings for a delightful breakfast treat.
Notes
- Slicing the rolls carefully helps them hold together during soaking and cooking.
- Letting the rolls soak thoroughly ensures a custardy, soft interior with a crisp exterior.
- Cold rolls work best for absorbing the custard mixture without falling apart.
- Serve immediately after cooking to enjoy the warm, soft texture and prevent soggy bread.
