MY FAVORITE FRENCH TOAST

My Favorite French Toast image

I'd been polishing this recipe for a while, then found the absolute best bread to use and now The Beau says I've ruined him for all other French Toast. It's called shoku pan, it's from the Japanese bakery. Shoku pan is wonderfully square and comes sliced either thin or thick--each of the thick slices are an inch fat! Look for it at an Asian market, I get mine at Uwajimaya or 99 Ranch Market and buy it a couple of days before I'm planning to make this so the bread is slightly stale. If you can't find shoku pan, substitute another thick sliced Texas Toast style bread.

This French toast was delicious! I made it for my husband and he said it was the best he's ever had. The bread was perfectly cooked and the cinnamon sugar topping was the perfect amount of sweetness. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

This French toast recipe is amazing! I've tried many different recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The bread is perfectly golden and crispy on the outside, and fluffy and tender on the inside. The cinnamon and sugar add the perfe
