I have a confession to make. There is another reason why I love to bake Sally Lunn bread that I have to share with you. It makes the best French toast I have ever tasted. Decadent, rich, moist, melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness in every single bite.
Come to think of it, that’s probably why my whole house is a-buzz when they know Sally Lunn bread is baking in the oven. They know they’ll be served up a fresh plate of Sally Lunn French toast in the morning. And believe me, French toast made with Sally Lunn bread is a mighty fine reason to get up and going in the morning.
You can also use other types of bread for your French toast – recommended would be brioche and challah, while in a pinch you can use whatever bread you have on hand. But I promise you, once you taste French toast made with Sally Lunn bread, it will become a favorite for you, too.
Here’s how I make it.
A truly decadent French toast you'll turn to time and again.

Mmm I love french toast! I must try this bread; love that it’s made in a bundt pan. I use Challah usually but it’s always nice to try new things!
I can’t wait to hear how you like the Sally Lunn bread — and the french toast!
Looks fab! Cant wait to try this recipe!
French toast is my absolute favorite breakfast food. I usually just use milk in the batter, but I bet cream would just take it over the top. Gotta try that next time.
I’ve had French toast on the brain for a while – definitely making some this week! Thanks for the reminder
Your french toast looks amazing and what a great idea to use Sally Lunn bread for french toast. I would have never thought of that!
