What Bread To Use For French Toast Sticks

Making French toast sticks is a fun and easy breakfast that the whole family will enjoy. There are many different types of bread you can use for French toast sticks, so pick your favorite. If you’re looking for something sweet and fluffy, go with white bread. If you want something more dense and chewy, try using whole grain bread.

Here are some tips:

Day Old Bread: The best French toast is made with day-old bread that’s a bit dried out.

Roll Out Your Bread: Use a small rolling pin, or regular size rolling pin, to get the bread as flat as you can.

Dips

The Buttermilk Syrup is a delicious way to sweeten up your morning, but there are so many other choices out on the market. We especially love these French toast sticks that just want someone else to dip them in some maple syrup!

Here are some great options:

Storing and Freezing

If you have any leftover French toast sticks, let them cool to room temperature. Then place the French toast sticks into an airtight container. They will last in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.

Freeze: If you want to FREEZE the French toast sticks, they need to be flash frozen first. Arrange them in a single layer on an ungreased baking pan and freeze for 2-3 hours or until they are frozen solid.

Transfer the frozen French toast sticks into an airtight container – these will last about 2 to 3 months.
