🍯 Why This Recipe Works
- There is no aftertaste of sourdough anywhere. My daughter and my husband both couldn't believe that I had even used sourdough bread when I presented them with their breakfast plates.

🥘 Ingredients
Ingredient Notes:
Brown sugar- Using brown sugar will give you a depth of flavor as well as a nicely caramelized crust.
Flour- Adding flour to your french toast mixture helps the coating to stick to the bread and helps for better results too.
Butter- This will be used to grease your griddle. You can use nonstick cooking spray if desired, but butter will give the bread a better taste.
Sourdough bread- Use a loaf of your favorite brand of sliced sourdough bread for the ultimate french toast recipe. Note: Save your unused bread or unwanted bread ends to make some delicious Oreo Bread Pudding or Peanut Butter and Jelly Bread Pudding.

🍴 Recipe Tips
- Fresh Bread Tip- You can use fresh sourdough bread for this French toast recipe instead of stale bread. Sour bread soaks up the custard mixture well and gets a nice golden edge when cooked.
- Fluffiness Trick- Here's a little secret: adding flour to the batter makes the French toast extra fluffy. The flour coats each slice evenly, ensuring the cinnamon sticks and giving the toast a great texture inside and out. It's like breading chicken but with toast!
💭 Recipe FAQs
Yes, french toast can be frozen and it makes for an easy and quick breakfast later. Simply make your french toast as directed and place onto a large baking sheet in an even layer. Freeze flat for one hour before transferring to an airtight container. Then allow to remain frozen for up to 2 months. Cook in the microwave or a toaster until heated through.
We love to enjoy our french toast with fresh fruits because the tangy sour berries offset sweet syrup. That said for a more filling meal, eggs, hashbrowns and breakfast meats like sausage and bacon are always welcomed ideas to serve on the side.
You can keep your leftover french toast in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 or 5 days. Reheat it in the microwave or a toaster until warm and then serve with your favorite toppings.
