Kneaders Chunky Cinnamon French Toast

1 loaf Kneaders Chunky Cinnamon Bread cut in 8 slices (You can substitute this recipe for Cinnamon Swirl Bread – but leave out the raisins. Or you could use any store bought cinnamon swirl bread)

8 eggs
3 cups milk
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon vanilla
2 Tablespoons butter

Butter a 9 x 13 glass baking dish generously. Place the bread flat in the baking dish. Mix all remaining ingredients, reserving the butter and pour over the bread.  (Update: I actually didn't pour over the bread.  It worked out better to dip the bread thoroughly in the egg mixture, then place flat in the baking dish – too eggy the other way.)   Cut butter into pieces and dot over the top. Cover. Refrigerate over night or at least one hour (I think an hour is plenty, and if you still decide to pour the egg mixture over the top, you do not need all of it). Bake 45-50 minutes at 350 degrees. Serves 8.
