What bread works best for French Toast? Lifehacker's Allie Chanthorn Reinman helps you choose the right bread for the butter & syrup covered breakfast staple.
French toast involves soaking up a substantial amount of sweet, eggy custard (or eggnog). The best bread for soaking should have either a tight crumb or an open crumb, but not a dense one. It’s important for the texture to be light and airy with plenty of pockets for the custard to seep into. Sorry, the tortillas are going to have to wait for their rework day.
