Dinner-Style Gluten-Free French Toast

What is the best bread for French toast?

As we all know, we are LCK’s gluten free site. But if you don’t need gluten free, you can use any bread you want!We have used store bought gluten free bread and our Homemade Gluten Free Bread Recipe (Just make sure you bake three batches in the loaf pan). We also tested this with store-bought traditional bread. A loaf of bread makes a really good French toast!

In general, you can really make French toast with any type of bread! Whether it’s sandwich bread, brioche, salad bread or baguette.

For excellent gluten-free French toast, especially this old-fashioned style, use real OK Gluten-free bread, as we know, they’re not all good. I like to use Canyon Bakehouse white sandwich bread. Whole Foods also now has a great 365 brand of gluten-free classic sandwich bread.

Notes on Soft Bread

If you are using a very soft and delicate bread, such as brioche or traditional white bread, you may need to toast or let it dry first! If the bread is soft and left in the batter for too long, it will start to crack.

Most importantly, use the bread that works best for you! In an ideal world, the bread wouldn’t be pre-sliced ​​so you could make the loaves a bit thicker than traditional sliced ​​bread, but it’s hard to find with store-bought gluten-free bread.

The key is to use slightly stale bread. The drier the bread, the more it will absorb all the goodness. The chewier texture stands out next to the French toast batter for a more crispy texture!

bread thickness

For dinner-style old-fashioned French toast, you’ll find they’re actually using classic sandwich bread. Served with a French bread toast, it’s thick and great. However, the rule of thumb is to be no thicker than half an inch.

How do you make French toast that doesn’t get soggy?

Some Actually Like a wetter french toast. Fun fact: I belong to that camp! But since I know a lot of people don’t, here are a few things you can do to avoid soggy French toast:

1. Use older bread. Stale bread is easier to hold next to the batter, giving French toast more structure.
2. Let the excess batter drip off. Once you’ve scooped out the bread from the batter, place it over the bowl and let the excess drip off. Too much batter can cause the French toast to be soggy.

different milk

Full cream classic milk is always a good first choice, but I often make this with alternative milk!

French Toast in the Oven

While I personally love the speed of this easy French toast in the skillet (and love the buttery goodness), you can actually use a baking sheet and make French toast in the oven!

1. Preheat oven to 375ºF and generously grease a large rimmed baking sheet with ghee (about 3 tablespoons).
2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and salt.
3. Dip the bread slices into the egg mixture and remove the excess coating. Put the bread on the baking sheet. Repeat, adding more loaves to the pan, but leaving about 1 inch of space between the loaves.
4. Bake on lower rack for 8 minutes, then flip bread and bake for 5 minutes.
5. Either serve immediately with powdered sugar and maple syrup, or cool completely and store in the refrigerator.

Service suggestion

You can serve this gluten-free French toast on its own or with your favorite toppings!
