Moms French Toast

 I love my French toast!  It is the perfect perfection of challah bread and cinnamon.  Growing up my mom made French toast frequently for breakfast during the school week.  Yes we were spoiled to have amazing breakfasts of pancakes, French toast, eggs and sausage or bacon pretty much every day.  Moms French toast was regular sliced bread (none of us were fans of whole wheat fread French toast but we dealt with it).  The egg, cinnamon, sugar, milk and vanilla recipe was standard but that cinnamon never really seemed to mix completely making the French toast blotchy with cinnamon blobs.  Again dealt with it. Then I moved to the bay area and discovered, ie. Met and fell in love with, my favorite bakery, semi Freddie's.  Who make the best cinnamon twist bread.  Yum https://www.semifreddis.com/breaducation/recipes
