Recipe View 5 mins Let the bake cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries, if desired. Serve warm with additional maple syrup. (5 minutes)

For an extra touch of decadence, consider adding a streusel topping made with flour, butter, brown sugar, and pecans.
Day-old bread works best for this recipe, as it will absorb the custard more effectively.
Feel free to experiment with different types of bread, such as croissants or sourdough.
If you're short on time, you can skip the soaking step, but the bake will be slightly less moist.
The bake can be assembled the night before and refrigerated overnight. Add an extra 10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
