French Toast Sticks



What do you do with a loaf of bread you make on Sunday and forget to take out of the machine until Tuesday?   (Smacking myself on the forehead!)

You turn it into french toast sticks! 




First, use a good bread knife and saw...err, slice the bread into thick pieces, about an inch.  Then cut those dried out...err, sturdy pieces into thirds. 

Then you're ready to dip those sticks into your egg and milk mixture.  Just use what you normally would for french toast.  Add yummies like vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg.  Anything you like.  But let those dried out babies soak for a while! 

Then lay them out on a baking sheet and bake until they look done.  Don't you love my accuracy?  I just wing it a lot in the kitchen with things like this.  Oven temp?  350 is probably good. And watch them till they are brown and lookin' good. 

Then when they are cool, throw them in a freezer bag to surprise your kiddos at breakfast one morning.  Tomorrow maybe!

The English Muffin Bread recipe I shared is great for these sticks, too.

    1. I stared at that loaf of bread in the machine in disbelief. "How did I forget about you?"
