Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cut 1.25 pounds of cinnamon streusel loaf into cubes.

Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes to crisp them up.

In a bowl, whisk together 10 eggs, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 2 cups whole milk, and 1 tablespoon pure vanilla.

Grease a 9 by 13 baking pan with butter.

Layer the toasted bread cubes in the greased baking pan.

Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring they are well coated.

Cover the pan with foil and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, preferably overnight.

When ready to bake, uncover the casserole and place it in the preheated oven.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, checking that the bread is not burning and looks done.
