Is it still "French" bread, or "Freedom" bread now?

[MRieck]

 I would think the bread would get to soggy left to soak overnight. The recipe sounds good though.

Sounds like an excellent idea for individual bread puddings. 
I do like a good bread pudding.

A really good adition to french toast is.
cut some fresh strawberries.add them to some strawberry jam,and heat in the microwave.
i had this in Florida a few years ago and have been making it since.i love real maple syrup.but this is really good as well.
