These scrolls are the new, reimagined French Toast. They’re so simple to make yet so delicious. They’re crispy on the outside with a soft chocolate filled centre. You won’t believe they’re gluten free. Simon once ate 6 in a sitting and he’s not into sweets. So yes they’re delicious!
The tip to the mix of crispy and soft textures in the scroll is flattening and rolling out the gluten free bread. You need to get rid of all the air before you roll them up to help create as many layers as possible. To do this you need a gluten free bread that will hold together well during rolling, which can be hard in gluten free breads as you’ve removed the gluten (literally the protein that holds baked goods together). I used Helga’s Gluten Free Traditional White Loaf and it was amazing. Easy to roll out, held together (absolutely no breakage) and tasted delicious.
You can serve with maple syrup or just eat them as is. So what are you waiting for! Getting cooking.
