Hmm, we made our baked french toast (much lower fat than fried) with challah last week and neither of us liked it. Too tender and too rich. Just kind of turned into mush.

Now, boule and striata or any kind of toothy bread, yum. Thick cut cinnamon raisin bread is good too.

And when you bake french toast you can add yummy sinful toppings (like pecan caramel) or stuff the toast with lemon curd and ricotta.
