For those looking to elevate this classic breakfast while keeping it gluten free, our challah loaf is the perfect choice. This gluten free, dairy free, and soy free bread provides the ideal base for a delicious French toast recipe that’s perfect for chilly mornings.
What is the Best Bread to Use for French Toast?
French toast is all about finding the perfect bread that soaks up the flavors while holding its texture. While most people automatically reach for a traditional white bread, but there are much better bread options out there to make a delicious French toast breakfast. Our gluten free challah loaf fits the bill perfectly. Made with organic eggs, gluten free oat flour, honey, organic brown rice flour, and apple cider vinegar, it’s a loaf designed not only for taste but also for those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease.
The softness of the challah loaf, combined with its rich ingredients, brings a depth of flavor that elevates your French toast beyond expectations. If you've been missing French toast, this loaf brings it back to life.
How to Make French Toast with a Gluten Free Loaf
We've put together a mouthwatering French toast recipe. Here are a few simple steps to follow:
1. Gather Your Ingredients
- 4 slices of Starseed Bakery’s gluten free challah loaf
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup of unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for a rich alternative)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- ¼ teaspoon of baking powder (optional for extra fluffiness)
- Maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh berries for topping
2. Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, honey, and baking powder until smooth.
3. Soak the Bread
Place each slice of the challah loaf into the mixture, allowing the bread to soak for 20 to 30 seconds on each side. The gluten free bread will absorb the mixture while maintaining its texture.
4. Cook the French Toast
Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Cook the soaked challah slices for about 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Top your French toast with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and fresh berries. You can even freeze French toast slices for a quick breakfast on busy mornings!
As an alternative to using a challah loaf, you can also try making French toast with our gluten free honey oat loaf, which already contains organic coconut milk for a richer flavor. The addition of potato starch in this bread helps create a light and fluffy texture, ideal for absorbing the batter while keeping the bread tender.
For those looking to experiment with different flavors, you can also add a tablespoon of coconut to the batter. This not only thickens the mixture but adds a hint of tropical sweetness that elevates this already delicious recipe. Whether you're using our challah loaf or honey oat loaf, the result will be a breakfast treat you won't forget!
