In France, they call French toast “pain perdu” which literally means “lost bread”. It was a way for French women to use up the stale bread in the house so it would not go to waste (who wants bread to go to waste?) It was made of thick slices of baguettes and cooked to perfection. You can use any bread that you have on hand and if it is going stale or not.
