Preparation

Step 1

Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray

Place bread in two layers in the baking dish. Tightly pack the bread; if there are gaps tear pieces of the bread to fill them.

In a medium bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, 3 tablespoons sugar, salt and vanilla extract. Pour the liquid over the bread. Sprinkle with cinnamon and the remaining sugar.

Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

The next day, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Remove the baking pan from the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until golden.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
