1 Dollar Giant French Toast | But Cheaper 

Here in France, french toast is called "pain perdu", which literally means "lost bread". As we have plenty of baguettes in our kitchen drawers, some of them get forget and become dry. We then use the eggs and milk mixture to rehydrate them, so those baguettes can have a second life and don't finish in the trash ! Also work with soft bread, but using baguette is the traditional way Also, they're covered with a cinnamon and sugar mix, but that's cool you put an american touch to it

Perfect timing for my breakfast Papa, bless

Wow that bread is so fluffy and perfect and shiny and...As I'm crazy about French toasts, if I really have to pay 1$ for this, I'm gonna become the richest person in my region from savings, risking to gain a serious amount of weight, but be happy as well 😂

I adore But Cheaper. As a 21 year old just starting out in the field I want to work in (which doesn't pay well in the first place), these videos save my butt. I've made healthier dishes that I enjoy much more than takeout at home for a fraction of the price and it's so good! I've made some beautiful meals for myself and others thanks to you and that wonderful cookbook you wrote!

Oh dang, I was at the book signing event in LA and when I met Josh, I asked for him to do more dessert dishes. Here we are with a French toast recipe made like a dessert, which I would have never thought of before. :o Thank you Josh, the dessert one looks amazing! That's definitely something I want to try making.

Charred marshmallows as an ingredient in chocolate sauce is GENIUS!!! Thank you for that gem, Papa. 🥰

French toast has & remains my breakfast choice for breakfast/brunch outings...something about seems like a treat...now that chocolate marshmallow sauce...adds to notes

always curious what cooks/chefs/bakers do with the extra egg whites after using so many just yolks

I appreciated the note about not mixing together the ingredients in the wrong order. Certainly something I could see myself doing. Thank you for the great video and all of the cooking confidence your channel has given me!

Deeeeeelish!! I'm a avid baker and watching you make bread is one of my favorite things to do! Was already planning on making french toast this morning and now tweaking it to your recipe, because everyone needs GIRTHY french toast! 😄Happy Easter!😊

Beautiful 😍. I love watching you slice and cook. You're the best!!

That looks amazing, and I can't wait to try it. It looks like it'll definitely fix the overcooking/structural problems of thinner French Toast. Also! Shoutout to the awesome MCDM shirt!

Joshua's recipes are dope 🙍‍♀️ I just need a kitchen scale to measure the ingredients and a scale to measure the weight gain my family will go through because I will dominate the kitchen with delicious recipes inspired by this man

Great content as always! Would love to see a riff on the But Cheaper line with a "But Cheaper for the Week" - how you could combine some of your best "But Cheaper" products to build a menu for the week...taking advantage of sauces, spices, leftovers, etc, what the grocery list would look like, etc.

This series has honestly been such a game changer for me over the past couple years. I've attempted recipes I never would have been brave enough to humor had I not watched you do it right in front of me first. I've saved quite a bit of $ in the process too, naturally. Thanks for doing these, man. French toast is seriously overpriced in every good breakfast place near me so this is something I'll have to try and tackle soon.

Love it! Going to try this :) keep up the good work and thank you for sharing again!! ❤️😀

What another great episode! As a British person, I've just tried pop tarts for the first time. I think you could do it better

Thank you so much for giving me a great idea for starting off a new week with the yummy French toast! Definitely this breakfast will help us to kick off the great start of a week!😍💓

WOW. I love this so much, not just because the bread is homemade, but because you actually soaked it long enough. So many people just "dip" the bread and frankly it tastes like dry bread with egg on the outside, and that is NOT the point of French toast. The moist, custardy inside of yours is what French toast dreams are made of. I WILL me making this!

Made the French toast from your book yesterday for family. It was a big hit. Gonna have to try this one next!

love you papa😂 and thank you for the best recipes and guiding us through the art of cooking ❤

Could you try a Spanish version of french toast? They're called Torrijas, and they are a delight. It's traditional for the week leading up to Easter.

this is literally so delicious! i literally always have a bowl of the french toast mix in my fridge

Joshua you inspire me greatly and my cooking is getting better by the day because of you! 🖤

Imagine taking one of those, slicing it in half, toasting the exposed sides and then loading it with bacon(and/or sausage), egg and cheese. You'd have something that would possibly rival the McGriddle for the ultimate breakfast sandwich.

Me at the start: there’s no way this whole thing will be a dollar Me at the end: he did it, that crazy son of a gun did it

We made this for breakfast this morning and it was amazing!!! The spices in the egg wash with the chocolate sauce almost made for a Mexican hot chocolate flavor. We will definitely make this again!!😋

Yummmmmmmm... You make it look so easy. You are the best!

This kind of reminds me of a bread pudding. Something like what you'd see on the Townsend & Sons channel

I feel like this recipe during Ramadan is gonna make my sehri pop off. Thank you for this- much needed

Joshy, my Joshua: I just wanted to tell you your background music here is GOLD. First time it really stood out to me - great stuff!!

This would be a perfect way to end a meal at a dinner setting. :)

Thank you so much for the hint to mix the spices in the eggs! I have been making French toast for 35 years always needing to add more cinnamon along the way.

Love your stuff (and your book by the way)! ' I have a question, what is the purpose in rolling the dough before putting it in the molds (molds, is that the right word!?)? What is the difference from just popping the dough straight in?

I love French toast as much as anyone, this video is smack damn perfect! While watching, not sure if this idea has come across, but I would love to see a "but healthier" ( flame shield on)

When he took that first bite he was so overwhelmed by what was happening in his mouth that it made him stumble. Must've been a nice bite of french toast

Does it really soak up that egg mixture in that little time? I would have thought this massive thing would have had to sit for a good half hour at least, on both sides.

Love your videos 🔥💯 you are an inspiration to many ❤️ including myself 😁 keep up the great work and never stop being you 💯 have a blessed day 💕

Hey Joshua! I really enjoy your videos and your recipes are really awesome! After watching so many of your videos I was wondering: does all of the food that you make for your videos get eaten? Do you eat them or are they shared with your girlfriend and/or friends? I know you usually taste all of the food but I was wondering what happens with the rest of it? I think it would be really cool to incorporate you sharing the food you make with your friends each time you share a recipe!

Love French Toast! Looks really good.

Nice one papa! Indeed it is traditionnaly done with leftover dry bread, hence the name in French pain perdu or which literally translates to lost bread

My lady wanted French toast this morning, wish I saw this video before we ate!

That toasted marshmallow and chocolate sauce is something else and I will be stealing it, thank you.

Amazing video, even more of an amazing person and creator.

I made french toast due to your last videos and my family loved it. I made about 13 slices. I covered it in cinnamon sugar and i!t was 👌

You're just trolling with that thumbnail at this point and I want it. 😋

Thanks for the chocolate gravy recipe. I wonder how cookies made from that would work.

Can we get video of everyone enjoying your food. I want to see the love in the crew's eyes for your food.

You Should make A video on cooking a healthier version of French toast that has a lot less calories for the more health conscious person. ⭕️

Honestly, that kinda looks like a breakfast cake.

That’s in interesting take on French bread. Gonna try this one.

Happy Easter

It was beautiful right up until you decided not to slice the brioche into, like - slices - but I’ll just have to adjust the serving suggestion ;) Genius, as usual.

That bread looks incredible Josh. Would you consider reducing the amount of single use plastic you use, especially plastic wrap? There are other alternatives, and for eg Claire Saffitz has been using reusable alternatives! It would be great to see more youtubers keep up with the times and try to reduce their footprint in the planet.

My little man has all grown up with his 6+ mil followers. You come a long way King, keep it up

Love your videos Joshua

Love french toast on a Sunday morning brunch with freshly brewed coffee. Will have to try this. Laughed because Josh’s voice when husky sounds sexier. Ahem.

It’s 1 AM where I live, and this made hungry again

Nice that Josh takes off his Rolex for the But Cheaper videos. :D Seriously, I love french toast. Great video.

i would love to see the dish washing and effort you put in making these videos

The “yes, I’ll share” was genius.

The end was so funny lool 😅

Hi Joshua! Could you consider doing a crossing-the-bridge noodles recipe video? It’s a dish from Yunnan, China and it’s relatively cheap, but most importantly it smells and tastes so comforting!

I tried your cheesy Gordita crunch tacos, I modified by not using hot sauce though, also modified the ranch, did it by eye bc I don’t like things too spicy & my phone was dying .. it was AMAZING. I never actually had Taco Bell’s version lol but your recipe was at least good, can’t say if the original is or isn’t. 🥰

short question: did you already make a video about YOUR perfect burger? I'm asking myself how your perfect burger looks

My family's Sunday brunch next week is set!

Good timing for this video. Happy Passover.

I appreciate you making note that some people might just want to buy the bread rather than make it from scratch. I have an incredible baker down the road and I would rather just buy it from him and spend the extra $2 than spend all the time (and cleanup) to make it myself.

Wow it's amazing 🔥🔥

Cafe owners after watching this "So you mean I can make a 2-3 serving dish for a little over a dollar, sweet I could charge double the normal one easily now."

This was such a good video to watch today and nice thumbnail dude :)

that "yes i'll share" killed me 💀

Tip for the French toast connoisseurs- Before rolling the dough to put in the bread pan first sprinkle it with cinnamon and sugar to create a cute swirl pattern after it's done baking and add extra punch of cinnamon toast flavor that will brighten up the house waking everyone one up Sunday morning ready for brunch!!!! Also add raisins if you like lol js

I've never have had this... And I want it so bad 🤤🤤🤤

“Yes I’ll share!” 😂😂😂

Josh your recipes are amazing. I made buns, pasta, sauces, fried chicken from your recipes and I have to admit that these were the best things I have ever eaten thank you papa

So, one thick boi french toast memory that I've got is from back when I was in college in Salem, Oregon. There's a restaurant there called the Sassy Onion, and they would do some legitimately thiccc slices of french toast. Like, comfortably two inches thick slices from a round loaf. What was very interesting is that they wouldn't soak it all of the way through, so the middle would still be dry, but what made it pretty special was that they would use the eggs to stick either cornflakes or frosted flakes to the faces of the bread, which would give it a really nice, crispiness. However, more than their 'regular' french toast, I would pretty much always go for their cinnamon swirl french toast, where they sliced one of their cinnamon rolls and used that to make french toast, with a lovely icing as the syrup. Have that with some eggs over easy and their pepper bacon, and you had an outstanding Sunday brunch ^_^

You can add softened butter by hand but it is one hell of a work out

I was feeling things at every cross-section shot

Was my birthday yesterday and I got the cook book best gift bro 🔥

Papa blessed yet again

Yummy 😋 I'll take the real maple syrup and a pat of 2-3T of butter over any chocolate stuff.. (that's great for the ice cream) I love that bread recipe, for me in your demonstration, the milk and eggs are making the difference. Great food 🤗🍀☘🌿🌻

In regards to the ice cream scoop, may I please cut a circle at the center of the French toast and add the ice cream? LMAOOOOO with B roll!!! My favorite!

Watching from Kenya......i love your recipes

you should do “but closer” and recreate menu items from restaurants the way they are in pictures vs whatever smashed mess you get from the restaurant

I just made this!!! I didn't have allspice so I used clove and tiny bit more freshly grated nutmeg and cinnamon to compensate. But I definitely undercooked it so I put them back in the oven. Would you recommend checking the inside with like, a toothpick or something? I can't wait to make it again this weekend for my kids!!! They are going to absolutely love it!!!

It’s almost like josh knew that I had been making French toast all week…

Hi Joshua! I love your videos. Could you make the famous crack pie (now milk bar pie) from milk bar,but better?😂❤ I love their pie , but it's a bit too sweet for my taste. I wanted to see you make your version of it,

I love how his b roll transitions don't even make sense like "but you know what else knows what to do? B roll"

I can't believe you missed a spot on those marshmallows Josh, you're usually so thorough about these things. 😏

Making this breakfast be like: Breakfast making starts at: 8:00 AM Eating time at: 8:00 PM

"yes, I will share" thats really funny

I just tried your last french toast recipe with the croissants this morning (it was delicious!), now it looks like I already have something new to try!

Y’all should do “but buffer” and show me how to add meat to everything. Or other proteins I’m not judging

Omg 😱 looove it

i can feel my blood sugar spiking just watching the video!

mm i have to make this!

Lol swimmers are gonna eat this up 😂👏🏻

I sometimes like to sub orange juice for the milk. Add cardamom to the spice mixture and - woof! A whole different take on French toast.

Def making this for Mother’s Day 😗🤌🏻
