Eggy Bread Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, eggs, butter, sugar, salt and 3 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. , Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 1-1/2 to 2 hours. , Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 6 portions. Roll each portion into a 14-in. rope. For each loaf, braid 3 ropes together on a greased baking sheet; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 50 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°., Beat together egg yolk and water; brush over loaves. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake until golden brown, 30-35 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Place a knob of butter in a frying pan and let it melt (alternatively you could use a tbsp of olive oil). Crack the eggs into a glass dish and beat lightly with a fork until the yolks are broken. Add pepper/salt to taste, you could even add in ham or greens to be healthy.
• Place a slice of bread in the egg mixture and let it soak for about a minute before flipping over and coating the otherside. It may get soggy if the bread is left too long and not thick enough, so it depends on how eggie you want it :) Then, place it into the hot frying pan and give it about 2 minutes both sides until it is lightly brown. If for breakfast, you could serve it with a glass of orange juice and maple syrup with a dusting of confectioners sugar. Up to you entirely. Baked beans are also a good with it :).
• Handy aswell, as the time it takes to cook a piece of bread is the same as soaking another. Means you don't have to wait around and leave one to get cold.

Steps:

• Lightly beat the egg in a shallow bowl along with the milk. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure it has soaked up all of the liquid. Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around the pan and when it's beginning to foam, add the bread and fry on each side for 1 min or until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and serve with crispy bacon or fruit compote.

Steps:

• Brush the sandwich toaster with a little sunflower oil and preheat to its highest setting.
• Pour the beaten egg onto a large dinner plate and soak the bread in the egg, turning it over until all the egg has been absorbed.
• When the toaster is ready, place one slice of eggy bread on the bottom plate. Top with the bacon and spread over the ketchup (if using). Finish the sandwich by placing the second slice of eggy bread on top. Slowly close the lid of the toaster and cook for 3-4 minutes until crisp and golden.

Steps:

• Put ingredients in the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer (usually wet ingredients followed by dry ingredients and yeast in middle) Use the white bread cycle.
• Walk away and wait until it's done!
