What it is

- French toast
Slice the bread to your desired thickness for sandwiches or toast. For toast, place slices in a toaster until golden brown. It can also be used to make croutons or breadcrumbs by toasting and processing. This bread is excellent for soaking up sauces and custards, making it ideal for dishes like French toast or bread pudding. The seeds add a pleasant chewiness and visual appeal to any preparation.
How it differs from similar foods

It is generally denser than a standard white bread and has a slightly heartier mouthfeel. The seeds themselves contribute a distinct nutty character that is absent in plainer bread varieties.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any unused portions in a cool, dry place, ideally in a bread box or a sealed plastic bag. This helps to prevent the bread from drying out or becoming stale. It can also be frozen for longer-term storage.
