What kind of bread is best for French toast?

The best bread for a classic French toast recipe is a thick slice of bread like Texas Toast or thick slices of brioche or French bread.

But, for this French toast waffle recipe, you will want to use a thinner slice of bread like standard sandwich bread. Cinnamon bread would also be good!

Ingredients

*Ingredient amounts are located in the recipe card at the end of this post.

  • Eggs-For this recipe, you will need 4 large eggs. Eggs are the main ingredient in French Toast Batter.
  • Milk-Using milk in the batter, gives it creaminess and helps to keep the outside of the French Toast from tasting like scrambled eggs. Any type of milk will work including skim milk, low-fat milk, or heavy cream.
  • All-Purpose Flour-Flour helps give substance to the batter.
  • Sugar-Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar in your batter. My kids like it sweet, but if that does not appeal to you, the amount of sugar can definitely be adjusted. Brown sugar can also be used.
  • Vanilla Extract-I like to put more than the usual amount of vanilla that is called for in other French Toast Recipes. It enhances the flavor in such a great way.
  • Slices of Bread: I like to use Texas Toast when I make French Toast but because you will be cooking it in a waffle iron, you may want to use standard sandwich bread.
