Italian French Toast

This is a very simple breakfast recipe, that works for three to four people. I help my dad make french toast in the morning on the weekends becuase its a simple recipe that is easy enough for me to do. I believe at one time, I will be able to make this recipe as perfect as the way dad makes it.
Ingredients:

• 2- 3 day old Italian bread loaves
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups of whole milk
• 1 tablespoon of cinnamon 
• 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• dash of salt
• Optional: powdered sugar for topping

Steps:

1. Slice bread in 3/4 inch slices
2. mix all ingredients above together in a large bowl or container to fit two to three slices of bread at a time to soak on both sides
3. heat non-stick skillet to medium heat
4. add as many slices at a time that the skillet will fit
5. allow to brown for three to four minutes on each side and remove to warm dish
6. complete all slices and top with powdered sugar 
7. enjoy with maple syrup

In the morning before Church, my family loves to eat french toast with some eggs or some taylor ham. I love it so much; I nearly eat all the french toast myself. Even though I am not a big syrup or powdered sugar guy, I still like my breakfast foods. I never put syrup or anything sugary on top of things like pancakes or waffles. Maybe if I am in a good mood, I will cut up some fresh fruits and top it with that instead.
