Steps to Make It

Gather the ingredients.
Place the cubed bread in the slow cooker.
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread and press down the bread to help it soak up the liquid.
Cut the butter into small pieces and dot over the surface.

Serve warm, dusted with confectioners' sugar and drizzled with maple syrup.
