Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Grease a 13 x 9-inch (33 x 23 cm) glass baking dish.

Cut bread into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes (you should have 10 to 12 cups/2.5 to 3 L); spread in baking dish. Add peaches and toss gently to combine.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, flour and cinnamon; whisk in milk and vanilla and pour over the bread and peaches. Press bread down gently with a spatula to coat in liquid. Let stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes or until bread is soaked through.

Bake for about 1 hour or until puffed, golden and a knife inserted in centre comes out clean. Serve hot or warm.

Tips

Day-old bread works well for this recipe but make sure the bread is not stale. If using canned peaches, drain them well and pat dry before measuring.

For the Adventurous: Add 1 cup (250 mL) chopped white chocolate or white baking chips with peaches. Serve topped with lemon-flavoured whipped cream, vanilla ice cream or lemon yogourt.
