Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 °F degrees.

Step 2

Grease an 8" x 8" baking pan (or any 2-quart size pan).

Step 3

Chop or break apart the bread into about 1 inch pieces or squares. Add to a large bowl.

Step 4

In a separate bowl mix together your milk, 6 oz evaporated milk, eggs, cinnamon and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the liquid mixture over your bread pieces and gently turn over pieces until all the bread pieces are thoroughly soaked. Pour gently into greased baking pan and spread evenly.

Step 6

Make the topping by adding the ingredients to a medium bowl and mixing together until well combined.

Step 7

Spoon topping mixture over the top of the bread mixture in the pan evenly until top is covered.

Step 8

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until a tester in the center comes out clean and topping is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes then serve with whipped cream, syrup or a sprinkling of powdered sugar.

Step 9

Wrap the assembled pan tightly with plastic wrap, pressing down to gently remove air. Then cover with foil, label it and freeze it for up to 6 months.

Step 10

To bake, remove from freezer and preheat oven. Remove plastic wrap and foil. Recover with foil and place frozen pan directly into oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, removing foil after first 20 minutes. Bake until a tester in the center comes out clean and topping is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes with whipped cream, syrup or a sprinkling of powdered sugar.
