2/3 c. sugar
4 tsp. cinnamon
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
(6) 1/2″ thick slices homemade bread, crusts removed, each slice cut into 4 strips

In a wide, shallow bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon. Working with 1 strip of bread at a time, turn strips quickly in butter, coating them on all sides, letting any excess drip off,
then turn them quickly in cinnamon-sugar, coating them on all sides.

Bake strips in lightly buttered jellyroll pan in upper third of a preheated 375° F. oven for 10 minutes. Turn and bake 10 more minutes. Transfer with tongs to serving plate.
