Signature Select French Toast Bread
What it is
This is a pre-sliced bread specifically designed for making French toast. It is made with plant-based ingredients, making it a suitable option for those following a vegan diet or looking for dairy-free alternatives. The bread has a slightly thicker cut and a softer texture than standard sandwich bread, which helps it absorb the egg and milk mixture without becoming too soggy. Its composition is intended to create a delightful base for a classic breakfast dish.
How people cook with it

- For simple toast
To prepare French toast, whisk together eggs, milk (dairy or plant-based), a touch of sugar, and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not overly saturated. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Cook the bread for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
How it differs from similar foods
This bread differs from standard white or wheat bread due to its specific formulation for French toast. It is often made with a slightly richer dough, sometimes including ingredients like sugar or oil, and cut thicker. This results in a bread that holds up better to soaking and bakes to a more desirable texture, less prone to falling apart.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and delicious way to make French toast will appreciate this bread.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bread fresh, ensure the packaging is sealed tightly after opening. Store the loaf in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. For longer storage, consider freezing the bread. Slices can be separated and frozen in a freezer-safe bag or container.
