Equipment

13 x 9-inch baking dish

Ingredients

1 cup unpacked brown sugar ((I use brown Monk fruit sugar))
1/4 cup water
cooking spray
10 oz Challah bread (cubed)
7 large eggs
1 cup 1% milk
1/2 cup half and half
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon Meyers rum (optional)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon powdered sugar (for topping)

Instructions

In a small heavy skillet melt brown sugar and water over low heat, stirring, until smooth and melted, about 1 minute, then pour half into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
Arrange the bread cubes in one layer in baking dish, squeezing them slightly to fit.
In a large bowl whisk together eggs, remaining sugar mixture, milk, half and half, vanilla, rum if using, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt until combined well and pour evenly over bread.
Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350F and bring the bread to room temperature.
Bake uncovered, in middle of oven until puffed and edges are pale golden, 45 to 55 minutes. Let it rest 5 to 10 minutes.
Top with cinnamon and powdered sugar.
