Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Butter or spray a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cut bread into 1-inch cubes and scatter in the dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, cream, sugars, eggs, pumpkin puree, vanilla, spices, and salt until smooth. Pour over bread cubes and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In another bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, spices, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Stir in pecans.
  4. Remove the baking dish from the fridge, sprinkle streusel over the soaked bread, and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, covering with foil if it browns too quickly.
  5. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Pumpkin French Toast Bake!

Using day-old bread helps absorb the custard better. Soaking overnight is recommended for best results.
