This recipe just entered my cookbook a short while ago. I made the disastrous decision to buy too much bread about the time that the Hectic Clan decided they were no longer going to eat sandwiches. That meant too much bread getting ready to go bad, so some creativity was required. I hunted through some recipes I had and cobbled this one together from a couple of other recipes that I had saved over the years. It doesn’t get a whole lot easier than this. If you want to really get creative, find a cookie cutter and use that to cut the shape out of the bread. You’ll look like a real gourmet!
