Kneaders Chunky Cinnamon French Toast

From Jenny...

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. Cut butter into pieces and dot over the top. Refrigerate over night or at least one hour (I think an hour is plenty, and I didn't need all the egg mixture). Bake 45-50 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve with Kneaders Caramel Syrup. Serves 8.
