eggs

additional powdered sugar and cinnamon sugar

break up bread in medium sized bowl and add enough eggs for the bread to be thoroughly coated add milk(amounts vary depnding on size of bread slice), vanilla and measured p. sugar. Grease pan(I couldn't fin the right kind of pan so I used a pie pan) and pour into pan. Sprinkle top with lots of cinnamon sugar and p. sugar. Bake at 350 until it sets. Mine took about 30 minutes.

Easy bread sticks

Here's how I make bread sticks. We have these at least once a week.

1. Make a batch of dough in your bread machine.
2. Roll out onto a cookie sheet.
3. Pour and spread melted butter over bread.
4. Sprinkle salt, garlic and Parmesan cheese on top. (I just use the stuff in the can-if you want cheesy bread sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top).
5. Cut with a pizza cutter-length and width wise.
6. Let raise.
7. Bake.

Variation:
Lazy Deanna cinnamon sticks.
After you have spread the butter on ,sprinkle on brown sugar and/or cinnamon sugar mixture. I do half garlic/cheese and half cinnamon sticks a lot of nights.

I make this in whatever combination for after school snacks a lot.
