1. In a food processor or blender, process the orange sections for 1 min. Add the eggs, egg whites, milk, sugar, liqueur, orange rind, vanilla, and salt; process 1 min.
2. In a shallow dish, arrange all the bread in a single layer. Pour the egg mixture over bread, cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate, and let stand for at least 30 mins or overnight, turning once.
