Baked French Toast

I had a bunch of homemade bread that I had frozen a few months ago. I defrosted it and it was very dry so I decided to slice it up and make baked french toast. I beat the eggs, added buttermilk, vanilla, salt, cinnamon and baked it in a covered iron pot, in a 350 degree oven until done. We had it for dinner. The bread was moist and delicious. It was similar to bread pudding. We ate it topped with maple syrup.
