Since part of my family is gluten-free, we used a gluten -free bread for our pumpkin air fryer french toast! My bread of choice for this recipe is the White Artisan Bread from Schar. This bread is gluten-free, dairy-free, non GMO, and preservative free! This bread is the perfect size to be toasted and then cut into triangles to serve. You can buy the bread at many big box stores locally, or you can buy online here.
