For an extra layer of flavor, try using a vanilla bean instead of vanilla extract. Split the bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the milk mixture, then add the pod to infuse further. Remove the pod before dipping the bread. If you don't have Texas toast, brioche or challah bread are excellent substitutes. Avoid using very soft bread, as it may become too soggy. Adjust the amount of spices to your personal preference. If you prefer a stronger spice flavor, add a bit more cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice.
