Questions about Egg bread
What is egg bread?
Egg bread is a soft bread made with eggs in the dough, which give it a tender crumb and a richer colour than many plain breads. Recipes vary: some loaves are lightly sweet, while others are savoury.
How do you toast egg bread without drying it out?
Toast slices briefly until the edges are golden; egg bread browns quickly because the dough is enriched. For a thicker slice, toast it on a medium setting and check early.
Can you use egg bread to make French toast?
Yes. Its soft, slightly rich crumb soaks up custard well. Dip slices briefly rather than leaving them to soak, then fry over medium heat until golden on both sides and cooked through.
How should you store egg bread?
Keep it in a sealed bag or bread bin at room temperature and use it within a few days, so the crumb stays soft. Refrigeration can make bread stale more quickly.
Can you freeze egg bread?
Yes. Slice it first, pack the slices in a freezer-safe bag and freeze; you can toast slices straight from frozen. For a whole loaf, wrap it tightly to help prevent freezer burn.
What can you serve with egg bread?
Use it for sandwiches, toast or French toast. Its mild, rich flavour also works well with savoury fillings such as cheese and ham, or with fruit and jam.
Is egg bread the same as challah?
Not necessarily: challah is a particular braided egg-rich bread, traditionally associated with Jewish meals, while egg bread is a broader description. Some egg breads are made and shaped much like challah.
