Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups day-old bread, cubed
- 2 cups whole milk (or almond milk)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp butter, melted

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Cube the day-old bread into one-inch pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold the cubed bread into the custard mixture until evenly coated; let sit for 15 minutes to absorb flavors.
