  • 1/4 tsp vanilla

  3. Pour milk mixture over bread, making sure to coat as much of each piece as you can.
  4. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning once.
  5. When ready to cook, preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  7. Arrange the soaked bread in a single layer on the cookie sheet.
  8. Sprinkle with pecan pieces and orange peel, if using (I don't).
  9. Bake 20 to 25 minutes.
  10. Serve with fresh fruit, syrup, or powdered sugar.
