I live in Australia. What is a Challah loaf? I've never heard of it. Is it just a plain white bread?

This is THE best French Toast we have ever had. I ade it because I had 2 extra kids here for a sleepover, and all 4 kids loved it as much as my hubby & I did! I didn't add the zest, because I thought it might put the 2 smaller kids off, but apart from that, I made it as written. Fantastic recipe, and is perfect for a special breakfast when you have a lot of people to feed. I loved that all the work was done the night before! Will make this regularly! [Made for Fall 2008 PAC]

I am a working mom with 2 kids (21 & 11).I am always looking for something quick & easy that uses fresh healthy ingredients. As a family we try and stay away from processed foods and anything containing high frutose corn syrup.
