French bread is a versatile food. It can be enjoyed by the strict and the not-so-strict dieters. It can be used in preparing various savouries such as French toast, French cutlet, French bread honey pan cakes and the list goes on.
As a foodie, I prefer using French bread over regular bread as it is feels light in the tummy yet provides an instant energy boost.
