The Bread

Day-old bread is great to use for French Toast because it’ll soak up more liquid and lead to a fluffier piece of french toast. The best bread to use will be the bread with a thicker cut, so your french toast doesn’t come out too soggy. Feel free to use day-old ciabatta, sourdough, or vegan brioche bread, as all of them are excellent choices.

The Batter

Instead of creating a batter using eggs, use flour and plant-based mixture to coat the bread. The recipes below use a variety of ways of making french toast, including using a batter or even doing a french toast bake. Either way, you’re going to need a batter of some sort to make your toast.
