Steps:

• 1. In a 9xz13 baking dish, that is at least 2 inches deep, tear up bread of choice into pieces to equal 20 slices of bread. Set aside.
• 2. In a 2 quart sauce pan, add the milk, butter, 2 cups of sugar, cinnamon and salt. Heat the mixture just to scald, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from the heat.
• 3. Slightly beat the eggs in a medium size bowl.
• 4. Add one cup of the hot mixture to the eggs while stirring constantly.
• 5. Immediately stir the egg mixture into the milk mixture, stirring constantly so the egg does not cook. Add 1 tsp vanilla and stir.
• 6. Pour the hot mixture over the bread. Press the bread down lightly to be sure all the bread is coated. Allow the pudding to sit for 5 minutes.
• 7. Fold all the mixture to insure the liquid is absorbed.
• 8. In a small bowl mix 3/4 cups of sugar and 2 tsp. cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the bread mixture.
• 9. Bake for 1 hour or until a knife inserted 2 inches from the center comes out with a light coating. This is a custard base so the knife will not come out completely clean.
• 10. Serve hot or cold. Note: Serve as is or with Rum Sauce, Ice Cream or Whipped Cream.
