Preheat oven to 425°F and butter a 9 by 13-inch baking dish.

Cut or tear your bread loaf into cubes.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add brown sugar and mix well, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is smooth and beginning to thicken.

Pour the mixture into the bottom of your greased baking dish. Smooth out evenly across the bottom of the dish.

Add cubed bread to the baking dish.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Once whisked well, pour egg mixture over the cubed bread. Make sure all pieces of bread have been soaked with the mixture.

Bake 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and fluffy. Remove from the oven and top with powdered sugar and fresh fruit if desired. Enjoy!
