Do you braid yours, for use with French Toast?

My apologies for sending this back to the top of the list, but my curiousity has the best of me. Are you braiding the Challah for use in French Toast?

I second Delish's idea of using challah. It's eggy, a bit sweet, and PERFECT for french toast and bread pudding. Whether it's what IHop uses or not, you'll enjoy it.

I'd be willing to bet they're using PWE (pasteurized whole egg product) for their french toast "batter" (bad word choice... it's late), I know some of the stuff that is added in PWE can change the overall flavor of somethings, so could be.

I personally prefer home-made french toast over some chain version any day.

My wife adds some cineman when she makes it and a little sugar.

I think this is a local recipe though.

Hey Chefs...

I was at a B&B and they truly embraced the fact that French Toast is actually a deritive of Bread Pudding... so... here's what I do.... 'cause it's nice to eat with your buddies and wonderful for a B&B

Pick your bread of taste
Soak in your custard base of taste
Dip in clarified butter
Lay in baking dish
Refriderate overnight....
Bake..

Voila!

Delicious
