Babka French Toast

One of the greatest joys of baking is when the leftovers end up surpassing the original creation. It's a rare occurrence, but when it does happen, it calls for celebration. Case in point: today, my cinnamon cocoa babka from yesterday transformed into an extraordinary French toast. Enhancing the batter with a splash of orange juice, I dipped the babka slices before frying them in butter. A finishing touch of freshly grated orange zest atop each slice completed the dish—a testament to my belief in utilizing every part of an ingredient. What makes it even more remarkable is that it's not just any French toast—it's French toast made from babka. I mean, really, could it get any better than this?
