    Looks can be deciving and they can go from perfect to too carmelized and hard really quick. So when in doubt, take them out early.

    I had a whole loaf of TJs French bread and this seemed like a good way to use it. It’s a very easy recipe with a wonderfully crackly crust. It was too sweet for me — and it took way more sugar mixture even after doubling the recipe. Serving with plain yogurt corrected the sweetness nicely but I will do two things differently next time: soak the bread in a casserole pan so it absorbs more evenly, and try dusting the cinnamon sugar on the slices rather than rolling them.

    Delicious! Soaking the bread in a bowl meant tossing it frequently to ensure all slices were coated; some got wetter than others, but it didn't seem to matter in the end. I needed extra sugar mixture for rolling and forgot to reserve some for sprinkling (didn't miss it).

    This turned out great for me. Loved the technique- great for a group and no standing over the stove flipping things. My baguette was hard as a crouton and still turned out very well. Will make again.
