French Toast

What is the best bread for french toast? It would need to freeze well since I cook for only myself.

      Trader Joe's Texas Toast is nice and has kept well in my freezer for more than a year now (I don't make FrenchToast too often).

        I like using a cinnamon swirl bread or a raisin cinnamon bread too. And they freeze well.

          Challah or broiche. For the purpose of using for French toast, it will keep fine in the freezer.

            Heartily agree with the brioche and challah. Thickly sliced and dried out for a bit so it soaks up a good amount of batter and becomes creamy and luscious custard in the middle when cooked.

              +1 on brioche. During the holidays, I use eggnog in place of plain milk, add nutmeg, and sometimes a touch of rum. Nice kick and delicious flavors, especially with warm Grade B maple syrup.
