Ingredients

8 slices Thick-sliced bread
as needed Silken tofu
as needed Soy milk
as needed Vegan butter
as needed Brown sugar
as needed Cinnamon
as needed Nutmeg
as needed Vanilla extract
as needed Salt
a pinch Orange zest
a dash Kala namak
as needed Arrowroot powder or cornstarch
as needed Oil

Instructions

First, lay the slices of fresh bakery bread or sliced sandwich bread on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until the slices feel lightly toasted and the middles are slightly moist but not soft or squishy.
Meanwhile, make the batter by blending the tofu, soy milk, melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, salt, and orange zest in a blender or food processor until smooth. Taste the batter and add more nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, or orange zest as needed. To finish, blend in the kala namak and arrowroot powder (if using) until they’re well incorporated.
Pour the batter into a 2-liter (9x9″ or 8x8″) baking pan.
Heat some vegan butter and oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is almost hot and the butter stops foaming, add two slices of bread to the pan with the batter. Swirl them around but don’t dunk them. Using bakery bread or ¾-inch sandwich bread slices? Soak for 30 seconds, then flip and soak for another 30 seconds (the bread should be saturated).
