Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Slice the gluten-free rolls into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down gently to ensure they soak up all the custard.
- Place in the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 350F.
- In a separate bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and chopped rosemary.
- Cut in the butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the top of the bread mixture.
- Bake the French toast for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
- While the bake is in the oven, prepare the syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries, water, orange zest, and salt. Cook over medium heat until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens, about 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the maple syrup and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Remove the French toast bake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the cranberry maple syrup over the top or serve it on the side for individual drizzling. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary, fresh cranberry, and whipped cream for a festive touch.
