Cook's Tips
Any type of bread works well in this recipe. Experiment with slices of cinnamon-raisin bread or whole-wheat bread. Try all fruit preserves as a topping.

A wire whisk is good for blending mixtures that need to be smooth or whipped. Use a bowl that is sufficiently large enough for the whisk to move freely.
