Deanna Gunn has created a fun and easy cookbook. She shared this delicious French Bake recipe with me during a recent interview.

One ~16 oz challah loaf (brioche loaf is also ok)
2 cups whole milk
4 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp Turbinado sugar for sprinkling on top

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2) Oil or butter a 9x13-inch glass baking pan (use an 8x8 pan if using a smaller loaf).
3) Tear the loaf into bite sized pieces and place in pan.
4) Whisk together the milk, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, and brown sugar. Pour mixture over the top of the bread.
5) Wait a few minutes to let the liquid soak into the bread, gently tossing bread around a little to soak evenly. Sprinkle the top with a little Turbinado sugar.
6) Bake in oven for 35-40 minutes, uncovered. The Bake will puff up once done.

Servings: about 9 pieces (4-6 hungry people)
