Directions
Combine sugar, butter, and corn syrup with a pinch of salt in a small saucepan; cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly.
Pour syrup mixture into a 13x9x2 inch baking dish . Sprinkle with chopped pecans (we like to add some whole pecans as well, upside down so they'll be right-side up when served).
Place 6 slices of bread on top of syrup mixture. Top with remaining 6 slices of bread with pecans if desired.
Combine eggs, milk, vanilla, and salt, stirring until blended. Pour egg mixture evenly over bread slices.
Cover and chill 8 hours. Bake, uncovered, at 350℉ (180℃). for 40 to 45 minutes or until lightly browned.
When serving, flip the slices over so the caramel is on top (as pictured).
