FRENCH TOAST EXTRAVAGANGA

Today is french toast testing Sunday.  Last Sunday we tested 4 different batters and picked the signature Fresh toast batter.  Today it is the bread.  We have 4 choices today - and will be trying two more after thanksgiving when I bring back Brioche and Challa bread from Calgary to try.  Today it is:


  • plain old white bread - thick cut of course
  • french bread
  • Donatto's raisin bread (mostly for fun)
  • and an Italian round loaf called Casalingo

The results are in....
and it is not conclusive.

Robin liked the Safeway brand texas toast white bread - not my first choice. 

Of the 4 breads we tried the french loaf is probably the best option until we try the breads from Calgary.

On the plus side we tried a variation on the batter mix and realized that the original version is best - so that is solidly decided.

We are taking next week off for thanksgiving then it is waffle testing time.  YUM!
