1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter.
Slice the bread into thick slices and arrange them in the baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.
Pour the pumpkin mixture over the bread slices, ensuring they are well soaked.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
