Preparation Steps
  1. Cubing or slicing approximately 8 cups of stale bread into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dairy-free milk, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and black salt until smooth. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes.
  3. Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and scatter the cubed bread evenly in the dish. Pour the custard mixture over the bread.
  4. Cover the casserole dish and allow it to soak for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight.
  5. Mix together the flour, chopped pecans, sugar, melted vegan butter, and cinnamon for the crumble topping.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), sprinkle the crumble topping on the soaked bread mixture, and bake for 30-40 minutes.
  7. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving warm with powdered sugar and optional toppings.
