Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.  Then, mix in brown sugar and syrup, stirring until sugar is dissolved.  Pour into a 9x13 baking dish and swirl the mixture to coat the bottom of the baking pan evenly.

Next, slice your bread into 1 inch thick slices, diagonally, and arrange in your baking dish in a single layer.

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, almond extract and salt.  Pour over the bread and sprinkle cinnamon on top.

Then, cover and chill for at least 8 hours, to overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Remove dish from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature.

Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned.
