Ingredients

  • 1 cup Canned pumpkin
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 2 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
  • 16 ounces Round loaf Hawaiian Bread
  • 1/4 cup Cold butter cubed
  • 3/4 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup Light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Flour
  • 2 tablespoons White sugar
  • 1/2 cup Chopped pecans optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13" x 9" pan with cooking spray.
  • Cut bread into 1 inch cubes and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together canned pumpkin, milk, eggs, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice.
  • Gently stir bread cubes into the pumpkin mixture, just until all of the cubes are coated.
  • Pour bread and pumpkin mixture into a 13" x 9" pan and spread evenly.
  • In a small bowl, mix cold butter, sugars, flour and cinnamon using a fork or even your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbles. Stir in chopped pecans if using. Sprinkle over bread mixture.
  • Bake uncovered for 40-50 minutes or until top is nicely browned and french toast is set.

Notes

  • Use day-old bread for best texture.
  • Soak briefly before baking for custardy centers.
  • Bake uncovered for golden, crisp edges.
  • Optional: Add chopped pecans for crunch.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze: Store individual portions, tightly wrapped in containers, for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat: Warm in the microwave or oven until heated through.
  • Make-Ahead: Assemble the night before (without streusel), refrigerate, then top and bake in the morning.
