Ingredients

• 1 package Kings Hawaiian Sweet Round Bread
• 1/2 cup blueberries
• 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
• 4 eggs
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• Crumble Topping
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 stick butter, cut into pieces

Preparation

Step 1

Grease a 9 x 13 casserole pan.
2. Tear bread into chunks. You'll need about 8 cups total.
3. Spread half of the bread evenly in the bottom of the pan.
4. Add about half of the blueberries and strawberries.
5. Add remaining bread and top with remaining berries.
6. Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour evenly over bread, making sure to wet all bread pieces.
7. At this point, you can cover and refrigerate the casserole for at least two hours, or overnight.
8. When ready to bake the casserole, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
9. Mix together flour, brown sugar and cinnamon for crumb topping. Add butter and cut into the dry mixture until it all comes together and is crumbly.
10. Remove casserole from fridge and sprinkle crumble topping evenly over casserole.
11. Bake for 30-40 minutes. For a softer, more moist texture bake closer to 30 minutes. Bake closer to 40 minutes for a firmer texture.
12. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top and serve with syrup.
