Air Fryer French Toast Bread Bowl

When creating a bread bowl you need to cut off the top and scoop out some bread. But what do you do with the bread you cut off? You dont have to waste it thats for sure!
You could cut it into strips to make air fryer french toast sticks. Just dip the strips into the egg mixture and air fry for 34 minutes at 360F. Or you could cut it into cubes to make croutons. For croutons air fry them for 34 minutes at 360.
Does the Bread Get Soggy?
Nope! After testing this recipe extensively it doesnt exist on the internet! I was delighted to see the results replicated over and over again. A slightly crunchy exterior and a perfectly soft interior to the bread.
Can I Make This in the Oven?
If you dont have an air fryer or you are using it for another breakfast like an Air Fryer Cinnamon Roll you can make these French Toast Bread Bowls in the oven. Preheat the oven to 425F. Place the dipped bread bowls onto a parchment paperlined baking sheet. Bake for 810 minutes. Then add the fruit!
