Tried this with white bread (on hand). We loved the addition of vanilla but not the use of water. Just 1/2 cup of milk would have more than sufficed for 2 eggs. The batter was pretty watery which produced a soggy bread and crisp outside. We missed the taste of whole eggs. Also, I like the cinnamon put on the bread in the pan rather than the batter because no matter how much you stir, it's only the first few pieces of bread that get the coating. Overall a nice recipe, needing adjustments.
