Perfect for a leisurely Sunday brunch, you might want to try my baked challah french toast recipe. Remember the orange-almond swirl Hallah I wrote about in my last post? Well, I kept what was left from the loaf in the refrigerator, thinking it would make a heavenly bread pudding. It turned out it will end up as a French toast. Baked French toast. So easy to make! And the aroma! An out of this world blend of sweet orange, vanilla, cinnamon and smidge of nutmeg. Yum!
