1. The night before.
2. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
3. Slice the bread and spread on a large cookie sheet.
4. Place in oven, turn oven off, and let bread set in oven overnight (since I have a gas oven, I just set the bread in the oven overnight, the pilot light hardened it enough).
5. The next morning.
6. Whisk the eggs and 1/4 cup sugar until all the yolks are broken.
7. Add the milk and cream and whisk a little more.
8. Put the dried bread pieces on top of the egg mixture.
9. Wait a few minutes, then push the rest of the bread into the mixture and mix lightly.
10. Grease a bundt pan and place half of the bread mixture in the pan to cover the botton.
11. Spoon the berries over the bread and sprinkle berries with the 1 Tablespoon sugar.
12. Spoon the remainder of the bread over the berries and pour the remaining liquid over the top.
13. Brush the top with the melted butter.
14. Bake at 325 for 1 hour or until toothpick insterted comes out clean.
15. Cut and serve, while hot.
