Hawaiian french toast

This is the basic recipe you can find in the mom and pop cafes all over Hawaii.
Now, the key here is the bread. You can NOT substitute another bread, unless you happen to be by a Portuguese bakery and ask for Portuguese sweetbread!
Anyways, the key as I said is the bread, which is King's Hawaiian Sweet Bread, from the original Kings bakery in Hawaii. The good news is that you can now find this ALL over the mainland in major grocery stores. It's a round loaf,, with an orange wrapper.
As their recipe on the package goes:
1 loaf Kings Hawaiian Bread
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Slice bread crosswise so each slice is about 1-inch thick. Cut each slice into thirds, if desired (or your pan is small!)
Combine remaining ingredients. Quickly dip slices (do NOT soak) in egg mixture and cook until golden brown on both sides (Julie, they cook fast you can't leave the stove, honey...)
that's it.
