2 cups whole milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free twist)

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice your loaf into cubes, about 1 to 2 inches.
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered bread and berries.
Let it soak for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the fridge.
