Directions:
Directions:
Grease or spray a 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Cut bread into 18 (1 inch) slices. Arrange slices in one layer in bottom of pan. Beat eggs, milk, sugar, salt and vanilla in a large bowl. (I usually use my hand mixer to get the eggs real frothy) Pour over bread. Bread will float to the top of the liquid. Cut each pat of butter into 4 pieces and dot each piece of bread with the butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Cover; refrigerate overnight or up to 36 hours. Place dish in cold oven, covered, at 325º and bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until bread is light brown. Remove from oven; allow to set 5 minutes before you cut into it. Bread will rise to the top with custard on the bottom.

Personal Notes:
I use to make this for our Christmas Eve brunch. You can serve topped with powdered sugar and it's nice if you warm your syrup.
