Instructions
- Generously butter a 9"x13" baking dish.
- Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes.
- Add the bread cubes to the prepared baking dish. Set aside.

Notes
- ½
Bread: If you can't find cottage bread, choose another thick, sturdy type of white bread for this loaf. Texas toast or thick-sliced white breads like artisan sandwich bread would be the best substitute.
If you're using an airier bread, like regular white sandwich bread, I recommend decreasing the number of eggs and only using 8 and decreasing the amount of milk to 2 ½ cups.

- Milk: You can use any milk, from skim to whole milk, in this recipe. Heavy cream or half-and-half can also be for part of the milk. Plant-based milk can also be used in this recipe.
- Maple syrup: If you don't have pure maple syrup, you can use brown sugar.
- Butter: I use salted butter. If you're using unsalted butter, add a small pinch of salt with the butter.
