Bread Choices for French Toast

You can use any bread for French Toast but the traditional recipe calls for Sourdough and this is my favorite. The creamy batter and sweet syrups complement the slightly sour taste of the bread.

Keep in mind that breads vary widely in the amount of fat and calories, but most sourdough breads and French breads are made with no fat and will usually have fewer calories. Breads with added nuts, raisins, dried fruit, etc. add a lot of calories to the final recipe.

Breads also have very different nutritional qualities. Sourdough is not the healthiest choice as eating whole grain breads are best for you.
