  1. If you REALLY want to go all for it you could also opt to do the artisan bread in 5 minutes a day… use whole wheat flour and let it set for at least 3 days before you make the bread for the french toast so it has a well rounded sour bread flavor 🙂

  2. I LOVE San Luis Sourdough, mostly because they are right by my home and I can get them at the grocery store and Trader Joe’s. I also go to my little bakery around the corner, on Saturdays they turn out the most delicious loafs of Sourdough.

    Try out a local bakery, it will be all natural and you will be supporting a small local business. If you can’t think of one to go to go to yelp.com and look for one there 🙂

    HAPPY COOKING!

  3. This sounds delicious – I’ve always used vanilla in my french toast, gives it a little extra umph! I:) ‘ve never thought to use sour dough bread tho. What brand of bread do you use?
