NOT Weight Watchers......not even close!


1 loaf Kneaders Chunky Cinnamon Bread cut into 8 thick slices (you can substitute this bread for any type of cinnamon swirl bread recipe)
8 eggs
3 C. Milk
1 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
3/4 teaspoon Salt
1 Tbsp. Vanilla
2 Tbsp. Butter

Butter a 9 x 13 glass baking dish generously.  Place the bread flat in the baking dish.  Mix all remaining ingredients, reserving the butter.  Dip the bred thoroughly in the egg mixture, then place flat in the baking dish.  Cut the butter into pieces and dot over the top.  Refrigerate over night or at least one hour.  Bake 45-50 minutes at 350 degrees.  Serves 8.


Kneaders Caramel Syrup
1 C. Brown Sugar
1 C. Heavy Whipping Cream
1 C. Light Karo Syrup

Blend together and heat on stove top until sugar is smooth.  Serve warm.  I like to add fresh strawberries and make homemade whipping cream to make this french toast perfect!  Enjoy.
