Set aside.", "Heat the half-and-half, sugar, and salt in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Turn the heat off and add the remaining bittersweet chocolate bits, whisking until smooth.", "In a large bowk, lightly beat the eggs, egg yolks, vanilla, and Grand Marnier (if using). Add the chocolate mixture slowly, while whisking, until well-blended.", "Pour the mixture over the bread and stir a little to distribute. Let soak at room temperature for at least 2 hours or overnight, pressing the bread down occasionally.", "Set the souffle dish in a larger baking dish. Add enough water to the larger dish to come halfway up the sides of the souffle dish. Bake for about 30 minutes until the edge is set but the center is still slightly loose.
