Lisa H's tweeks and tips

• I added at least 1 tbsp and would love more.
• I think you could use less butter and just be sure to spray the pan with cooking spray.
• I used less brown sugar, maybe 3/4 cup.
• No salt just because we aren't big salters.
• I don't think you have to soak it for even an hour. Soaking it overnight is probably just so that it's ready to put in the oven in the morning while the coffee is brewing ;)
• I used a couple more slices of bread and it wasn't too dry, as a matter of fact the middle was still quite moist.
• Topped it with powdered sugar and served with syrup.
