Remove crusts from baked bread and cut into 1 inch cubes. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine eggs, half and half, sugar, pumpkin, vanilla, salt and spices. Mix well. Add the bread cubes and chocolate chips and toss gently. Pour into a sprayed 8 inch square baking pan. Let sit for 20-30 minutes. Sprinkle top with brown sugar and bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream.
What can I use instead of half and half - fullcream milk, 2% milk or skim milk? Or cream? Could I use any kind of bread? - in SA the bread I can think of closest to "frozen bread" is vetkoek dough sold by bakeries and used to bake verkoek in deep oil. As far as I know, the dough can be frozen.
