Notes
- Black salt - if you have black salt aka kala namak on hand then you can use half black salt and half regular salt. Black salt adds more 'eggy' flavor to recipes.
- Coconut oil - I find coconut oil to be very helpful in getting the outsides nice and browned and the most similar to 'regular' French toast. I added a bit more coconut oil (around one teaspoon) with every slice of french toast.
- Stale, sturdy bread - I used a sourdough bread that was a little stale. Cut thickly it made the perfect kind of slices for making french toast. You will definitely get the best results if you choose a sturdy kind of bread (not soft sandwich bread) that you can slice thickly, and it's also ideal if it's a little on the stale side rather than ultra fresh.
