INSTRUCTIONS

• Cube your bread and place it in the slow cooker.

• Add the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, Nutella, and salt to a bowl and whisk to combine.

• Pour over the challah bread in the slow cooker.

• Mix so that all of the bread is saturated with the mixture.

• Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 hours. (NOTE: depending on the size and heat of your slow cooker, this time may have to be adjusted. Check every hour, mixing for even cooking)
