Ingredients

• 8 cups (cubed) Cinnamon raisin bread
• 3 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 4 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing)
• 0 Optional whipped cream or vanilla sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.

Step 2

Cut the cinnamon raisin bread into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly in the greased baking dish.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir frequently until the sugars dissolve and the mixture is warm (do not boil). Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine. This creates the custard base.

Step 6

Pour the custard evenly over the bread cubes in the baking dish, pressing the bread gently with a spatula to help it absorb the liquid.

Step 7

Let the dish sit for 15-20 minutes, allowing the bread to fully soak up the custard.

Step 8

Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with optional whipped cream or a drizzle of vanilla sauce for an extra touch of sweetness.
