butter
Slice the pretzel bread bites into cubes and spread them out evenly in the buttered dish.
20 oz Pretzel bread bites
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread cubes, then gently press down on the bread to help it soak up the custard.
4 large eggs, 1 cup milk, ½ cup heavy cream, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, pinch salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for even better flavor.
When you're ready to bake, take the dish out of the fridge and remove the plastic wrap.
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the French toast for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. If the top starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover it with aluminum foil and continue baking.
Let it cool slightly, then serve with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, or your favorite toppings like whipped cream, lemon curd, or fresh fruit.
