What’s the best bread to make French toast with?
When it comes to making the best French toast, the bread you choose can make all the difference. Here are some top choices that will take your French toast from good to absolutely amazing:
1. Brioche
- Why: Brioche is rich, buttery, and slightly sweet, making it perfect for French toast. Its soft, tender crumb soaks up the egg mixture beautifully without falling apart.
- Texture: Soft and pillowy with a fine crumb.
- Flavor: Buttery and slightly sweet.
2. Farm loaf
- Why: It’s more affordable and usually comes unsliced so you can cut your slices the exact size you like. I used this bread for this French toast!
- Texture: It’s great for French toast because the outside is firm and inside nice a fluffy.
- Flavour: It’s great if you find Brioche too sweet and rich, farmhouse loaves just taste like plain white bread.
3. Challah
- Why: Similar to brioche, challah is also rich and slightly sweet, with a tender texture that holds up well to soaking.
- Texture: Soft and airy with a bit of chew.
- Flavor: Mildly sweet and rich.
