Tips and Variations
To make fewer rolls, simply halve the ingredients. For a more indulgent treat, you can slightly toast the bread before spreading the fillings; this helps prevent the rolls from becoming too soggy during cooking. Soft sandwich bread is ideal, but slightly thicker brioche slices also work wonderfully, giving a richer, more buttery flavour.
When whisking the egg mixture, ensure it is smooth and slightly frothy. This will help coat the rolls evenly and create a delicate, slightly puffed French toast exterior. If the mixture is too thin, you can let it sit for a minute; the sugar will start to dissolve, slightly thickening the coating.
Cooking the rolls over medium heat is key. Too low and they absorb too much egg, becoming soggy; too high and the sugar can burn before the interior warms. A gentle golden-brown colour on all sides is a good indicator of doneness.
For storage, place any leftover rolls in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan or oven to maintain the crisp exterior while warming the chocolate and peanut butter filling.
