Kneaders French Toast Casserole and Nauvoo Syrup

This recipe is from the Kneaders Restaurant which makes a delicious Cinnamon bread. I highly recommend it for this recipe. The Nauvoo Syrup is courtesy of my friend, Stephanie. To Die For combo!

1 loaf kneaders chunky cinnamon bread
cut into 6 slices or break/tear into 1 1/2"chunks (This is my preference)
8 eggs
1T brown sugar
1 T vanilla
3 c milk
¾ t salt
2T butter

Generously butter a glass 9x13 pan. Place bread flat in baking dish. Mix all remaining ingredients, reserving butter, and pour over the bread. Cut butter into pieces and dot over top. Refrigerate over night ( or at a bare minimum 1 hour). Bake 45-50 minutes @350*
Serve with maple syrup or Nauvoo syrup.


Nauvoo Syrup
1 cup butter
1 cup buttermilk
2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp maple flavoring

Bring first three ingredients to a boil, boil 3 minutes. Add last three ingredients. Make sure it is in a large pan, the soda will make it froth up. I have used buttermilk powder. The flavor is still very good, the consistency is a little bit "flatter"Serve hot over pancakes or waffles, or cool to room temp and serve over icecream. This has a yummy caramel/maple flavor
