Well I wanted to report back in on using the baker's cinnamon to top this unbelievably wonderful French toast. I used baguettes; with 15 coming for breakfast buffet, this seemed appropriate. I followed the recipe, except I did use 1 1/2 tsps. of vanilla bean crush and placed into the fridge Christmas Eve. The next morning I mixed a topping consisting of 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup baker's cinnamon filling and 1/2 tsp. fresh ground nutmeg. The results were FANTASTIC! All ages--from 20 months to 86 years--loved it! I was very happy; I cannot thank you enough. And I must've been good; Santa brought me the measuring cup I see in your blog frequently that I will also use to watch the dough rise AND the cinnamon mill, too! Thanks again, P.J., to you and everyone at King Arthur. Happy New Year! What a great idea for a substitution, Diane - thanks for sharing the results. I'm definitely trying that next time. Happy 2010! PJH
