Get perfect French toast every time with the Anova Precision Oven. By setting the steam to 50% and preheating the sheet pan along with the oven, the toast cooks quickly, gets slightly crispy on the outside, and retains a custardy texture on the inside. Note: This recipe makes enough batter for three batches of four pieces of toast or two batches of six (12 pieces total). You should be able to fit six pieces of toast on the Anova sheet pan and four pieces of toast on a quarter sheet pan. If you have two available pans, you can bake them at the same time, using the second and fourth rack positions. Each batch takes 12 minutes to cook. You can keep the prepared French toast warm in your standard oven, set to 200°F (93°C), or serve in batches. Don’t leave the French toast in the standard oven for more than an hour. After further testing, this recipe has been updated to use more batter and a higher oven temperature.
