Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (13- to 14-inch-long) loaf of soft-crust supermarket Italian bread
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 2/3 cups whole milk
3 tablespoons sugar
Accompaniment: pure maple syrup

Steps:

  • Cut 12 (1-inch-thick) diagonal slices from bread, reserving ends for another use.
  • Generously butter 1 side of each slice and arrange slices, buttered sides up, in 1 layer in a buttered 13- by 9- by 2-inch glass baking dish, squeezing them slightly to fit if necessary.
  • Whisk together eggs, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until combined well, then pour evenly over bread. Chill, covered, until bread has absorbed all of custard, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day, depending on bread.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Bring mixture to room temperature and sprinkle bread with sugar.
  • Bake, uncovered, in middle of oven until bread is puffed and top is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
