Preparation

Step 1

1 loaf stale bread (I used a French batard but Italian, sourdough, cinammon or good old sandwich white or wheat would be good)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Tear the bread into chunks and place them in the greased pan. Mix together eggs, milk, half and half or cream, sugar, and vanilla and pour the mixture evenly over the bread. In another bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the butter and mix until the batter comes somewhat together. Sprinkle the flour/sugar mixture evenly over the top of the bread mixture. Bake for 45 - 60 minutes, until golden brown. Store leftovers in fridge, tightly covered.
