Kneaders Copycat Recipe
There is a bakery and cafe chain here in Utah called Kneaders.
They are known for their bottomless French toast that they serve up at breakfast! It’s a thick, chunky cinnamon bread, turned into French toast, and served with caramel syrup, whipping cream, and fresh berries! It’s the best!
And, you can totally make it at home! I like to buy the Kneaders Cinnamon Swirl bread for this recipe, but really, any cinnamon swirl bread will work. The chunkier the slices, the better!

- 1 loaf Kneader’s Chunky Cinnamon Bread, cut into thick 2-inch slices (if you don’t live near Kneaders, you can use any type of thick cinnamon swirl bread)
