Alrighty, when we were living in California, I was rather spoiled when it came to sourdough bread. I absolutely LOVE San Luis Sourdough. Love it. It's the best bread to use for sandwiches, and especially French Toast. When we moved away, I was VERY....VERY sad that our commissary here doesn't have it. I mean, come on, they have Wonder Bread and Home Pride..both are "meh" worthy types of bread. Believe me, I've been tempted to have some shipped over here, but I don't think it'd be good by the time it arrived :(
If you haven't had it, trust me, you're missing out on a great thing.
So, onto the recipe!

- 5 cups bread cubes
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk

Top with what ever syrup you like :) I stick to boysenberry with a slight sprinkling of powdered sugar!
