1. Pick the type of bread you want and cut it into thick slices.
For very fluffy and creamy French toast, choose bread such as brioche or challah. For a more organized option, choose a rustic bread. To make delicious French toast, use thick slices of bread. Avoid buying pre-sliced bread and instead opt for a whole loaf, cutting it into 3/4-inch thick slices. Old bread is perfect for this because it absorbs the custard well without falling apart.
