This is a fantastic recipe! Due to a shopping mixup we ended up having way too many loaves of Pepperidge Farm bread and needed to use them before they would mold. Thanks to this wonderful recipe we are now using them and enjoying every bite! May Jesus Bless You for this awesome, easy to prepare, and delicious recipe!!!
