      In the recipe it says to put half the loaf on the brown sugar mixture, but I don’t find another direction to include the other half. Is this an error or do you only use half the loaf?

        Hi Jennifer! Add the remaining bread crumbs on top of the cranberries, and before you add the custard mixture. Enjoy!!
