1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 Tbsp. corn syrup
1 loaf french or Challah bread, sliced into 3/4 inch slices ( I prefer Challah bread)
1 1/2 cups half & half
5 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. orange juice
1/4 tsp. salt
1. Heat brown sugar, butter and corn syrup in a heavy saucepan over medium heat until will blended, stirring frequently. Pour the syrup into a 9x13" baking dish, tilting the dish to cover. Arrange the bread slices in a single layer over the syrup. Just squish the bread pieces in so that they all fit in there.
2. Whisk half & half, eggs, vanilla, orange juice and salt in bowl until will blended. Pour over the bread layer. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 8 to 24 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove dish from refrigerator and let stand until room temperature (about 30 minutes). Bake on middle rack for 35 to 40 minutes or until edges are golden brown and puffer. Serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and /or syrup, if desired.
Serves 6 ( I double the recipe for a crowd)
