Baking them is a great step I will add when making my next batch of French toast.
Great recipe!

Sounds good. Never baked them either. Always stopped at fried them. But they are seldom soggy until I load them up with maple syrup ;-) I guess drying them up first allows them to soak up more syrup. Yummm! I'll really be bouncing the walls!


Same here, always fried. Will try baking next time and will let you know how it turns out. I like the idea that its crispy. Thanks for the post :0)


Excellent! I love the taste of french toast but rarely make it because it does go soggy. Definitely trying this! ^^5! :)
*runs off to let some bread sit out!*


Love french toast... I'll have to check this out... thanks... dave


I love French Toast and make it here a lot, but I will change to your recipe because the oven seems to be a better method!

I made this for breakfast this morning. I didn't put in the oven, but it was just as delicious! I'm happy to say that I froze the leftovers and I can't wait to have it again! Susanne


I made this for breakfast today, and I must say-- You are brilliant! I used the Cinnabon bread, and it was amazing. I just love how it never became soggy, even after the syrup.
