Instructions
- Grease a 13x9 baking dish and spread your cut bread inside.
- In a large bowl whisk together: milk, half & half, eggs, 1/4 cup brown sugar, vanilla extract, orange zest, kosher salt, nutmeg, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Ensure all eggs are fully whisked.
- Carefully pour over the top of the bread, evenly distributing over the pieces on top. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove bread from refrigerator.
- In a small bowl combine the flour, cold butter, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Mix with your finger tips until combined and crumbly. Sprinkle over the top of the bread.
- Place in the oven and bake for 60 minutes. After 45 minutes if the top begins to burn, tent the top with some aluminum foil for the remaining duration.
- Remove from oven, the top should be crisp and the middle spongey, but not wet. Top with the fresh berries and optional powdered sugar. Serve with maple syrup.
Notes
- If you cannot refrigerate the bread overnight, allow minimum 20 minutes for bread to soak. (The longer the better for flavor purposes)
- You can substitute brioche for challah bread
