Scale
- 1 loaf of bread (such as French or challah)

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Cut the bread into cubes and place them in the dish.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Use slightly stale bread for the best texture; make sure cubes are of roughly the same size.
