INGREDIENTS:

1 loaf Texas bread, thick sliced
8 eggs
3 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter, cut into 5 pats
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:

Grease 13x9" pan. Cut bread into 1" wide strips. (using French bread, its easiest to slice it in half lengthwise first.) Put one layer into bottom of pan.

Beat eggs, milk, sugar, salt and vanilla in a large bowl. Pour over bread. Cut each pat of butter into several pieces, enough so that each bread slice has a piece on it. Sprinkle the top of the bread with cinnamon. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight or up to 36 hours.

When ready to cook, place plan in COLD oven. Turn temperature to 350F and bake for 45-50 minutes. When touched, it should spring back.

Allow to set for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with syrup or fruit compotes.

I followed the recipe to the letter and cooked it as it said to when it was not done at reccommended time I cooked longer after cooking for 1 hour and 15 minutes it was still sloppy and not set at all. I would not waste my time on this one. My oven cooks just fine so I know that wasn't the problem.
CDKitchen Note: What size loaf of bread did you use? I'm guessing it as smaller than what the submitter of the recipe used. And, was it Texas-toast style bread?
