Ingredients

• 4 slices Raisin bread
• 3 medium-sized Croissants
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Raisins
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with the tablespoon of unsalted butter.

Step 2

Cut the raisin bread and croissants into 1-inch cubes and place them in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the raisins evenly over the bread cubes.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and croissants in the baking dish, ensuring that all pieces are soaked. Gently press the bread down with the back of a spoon so that it absorbs the liquid.

Step 5

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.

Step 6

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set (a knife inserted into the center should come out clean).

Step 7

Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
