Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8 inch square baking dish.
Rip bread into bite-size pieces and place into the baking dish.
Pour melted butter over the bread.
In a medium bowl combine milk, sugar, egg, cinnamon, and vanilla. Stir to mix.
Pour egg mixture over the bread, trying to cover it all. Use the back of a spoon or fork to press the bread into the egg mixture so every piece soaks some up.
Bake 45 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
Serve warm with a drizzle of vanilla sauce or a dusting of powdered sugar.
