French Toast Casserole

Make certain to use 1 to 2 day-old bread for this, I strongly suggest not to double the amounts and bake in a larger baking dish, make two separate recipes and bake in two 8 x 8-inch casserole dishes, if you prefer a sweeter taste then increase the sugar amount.

I like the ease of the lazy-struedel. My bread had originally been Italian so I probably could have omitted the salt from the recipe. I think I'd enjoy it more if some of the cinnamon had been combined with the liquids. I think this would turn out very nicely with some minced apples in addition to the raisins; even a cran-apple variation would likely be tasty, maybe add a touch of orange peel to that one. Boxed coconut milk rather than cow-milk worked fine and has me contemplating attempting bread pudding with coconut milk... #dairyfreeliving
