1 1/4 cups of whole milk
1 cup of granulated sugar
6 large eggs
1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract
12, day-old Malassadas
2 tablespoons of brown sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
Preheat oven at 350 degrees F.
Grease an oven proof-baking dish (I used a 9×7 Pyrex dish).
1. Cut the Malassadas into pieces (it’s up to you on the exact size) and fill the baking dish to the very top…leave aside.
2. In a medium bowl, beat together the milk, sugar, vanilla, and eggs until creamy.
3. Pour the creamy mixture slowly over the bread, making sure to stop in-between pours to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
4. Once you pour all the mixture, let it rest for about 15 minutes. Also, make sure to use your fingers and press down on the bread in areas where it looks a little dry so that the creamy mixture can be absorbed.
5. Last but not least, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the whole top of the bread and bake in the oven for 45-60 minutes, depending on your oven.
Let it cool before serving…enjoy!!!
