SUCCESS TIP
If your bread machine has a 2-pound vertical pan, the loaf will be short, but still will have good texture and flavor. If your bread machine has a horizontal pan, however, there isn't enough dough to make a good loaf of baked bread.

Sprinkle generously with grated or finely shredded Parmesan cheese. Cut each piece of toast into 1-inch sticks.
