This was really good. I do have to mention that I didn't follow the recipe exactly. I cubed 1.5 loaves of stale Italian bread. I tossed the cubes with the cinnamon/sugar. I doubled the amt. of milk and eggs. (No time for it to soak in, so I added extra). It sat 1.5 hours and I baked it longer than stated. The inner cubes were more like a bread pudding, while the outer pieces were nice and crunchy. No butter or syrup necessary! I greased the pan well and no sticky mess.
Next time, I'll omit the extra sugar. I might swirl in some cream cheese whipped up with some cinnamon. Maybe even toss in some chunked or sliced cinnamon apples. Or both!! Excellent recipe. Perfect for a no muss, no fuss breakfast!!!
**11/16/11** Again, I didn't measure the bread, just used what I had in the pantry. I did cube the bread. I did not use the extra cinnamon/sugar. It was in the fridge at least 6 hours. The longer time in the fridge allowed the milk/egg mixture soak in, so I didn't need to add extra of either. The center was still a little gooey when the timer went off, so I stirred the whole thing, mixing the caramel throughout, then baked it for another 10 minutes. Stirring the caramel allowed ALL the cubes to get the caramel coating :-D Absolutely something to make when you want a easy and delicious breakfast! I really do recommend using cubed bread, and stirring it during the last few minutes of cooking to distribute the caramel. No butter, syrup or extra sugar needed!!
