If you’ve ever made French toast you know that not all types of bread work as well as others. When it comes to the toast it needs to be sturdy enough to soak up the egg mixture without falling apart, slightly stale to absorb the mixture, and have a good flavor. If you’re planning on making French toast, these are the best breads to use.
Brioche
This thick and sturdy bread is already buttery and eggy which makes it work great with the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla.
Sourdough
The tangy taste of sourdough balances out the sweetness of French toast. It’s also one of the sturdiest breads, so you don’t have to worry about it falling apart.
French Bread
Baguettes make for great French toast due to their thick, crispy crust. Cut the loaf into thick round pieces instead of squares.
Challah
Instead of letting challah go to waste, use it for French toast. It’s sturdy and because of the braiding, it makes for a beautiful finished product.
White Bread
Any thick-sliced white bread works well for French toast. A cheap white bread can be elevated by making it into a French toast.
