Steps

Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread the bread cubes in it.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, pumpkin, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt until smooth.
Pour the custard evenly over the bread, pressing the cubes down so they soak.
Cover and refrigerate overnight, at least 8 hours.
In the morning, heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and let the dish sit out while it heats.
Toss the pecans with the brown sugar and scatter over the top.
Bake uncovered 45 to 50 minutes, until puffed, golden and set in the center, reaching 160°F (71°C) inside.
Let it rest 10 minutes, then cut into 8 pieces and serve with extra maple syrup if you like.
