The original recipe calls for dark brown sugar. I used light brown sugar but the dark will result in a slightly richer flavor.
If you can find gluten free French bread it will result in a slightly milder flavored French toast.
In a pinch you can use any day old gluten free bread, although it may result in a mushier French toast and the bread (depending upon many variables) may dissolve.
