Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the bread into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 to 2 inches each, and place in a mixing bowl.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all are submerged, and let soak for about 5 minutes.
  5. Transfer the soaked bread to the baking sheet, sprinkle with brown sugar, and ensure space between pieces.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and slightly puffed.
