Steps

1

Slice the bread and let it dry out.
2

Spread a generous layer of jam on the bottom of a baking dish.
3

Arrange the bread slices on top, overlapping them slightly.
4

Whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract.
5

Pour the mixture over the bread. Let the bread soak up the liquid, pressing it down occasionally with a spatula.
6

Dot the top with pieces of butter and bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 40 minutes. The top should be golden but not burnt.
