Let's make it!

Everything you love about French toast, all in one pan!

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C if baking right away. Butter the inside of a 9×13 inch baking pan. Chop the bread with a serrated knife into 1-inch bite size pieces.

2

Add the chopped bread pieces to the prepared 9×13 pan.

3

In a bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt.

4

Pour the egg mixture over the bread, and if baking right away allow to sit for 20 minutes at room temperature to soak up the custard mixture. Or, if you’re making this ahead, cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until the next morning.

5

To make the topping, in a medium bowl combine flour with brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter.

6

Use your hands or a pastry cutter to create crumbs.

7

Sprinkle the topping all over the bread, or store in a small ziptop bag in the fridge for later.

8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the custard is 160°F/70°C and the top is golden brown. Dust with powdered sugar, and serve warm with maple syrup and fresh berries.
