What is the best bread for making French toast:
- Brioche – is a classic French bread that is fluffy. You can buy it pre-sliced at the supermarket. Also, for best results use a brioche loaf and slice it into ¾ and 1 inch thick.
- Challah – It’s a kosher loaf of braided bread made of eggs, water, flour, yeast, and salt. This bread is less sweet than a brioche but it’s a great choice! Slice it into 1 inch thick.
- Other options are – Texas toast, French baguette, French loaf, gluten-free French bread or use your favorite!
