*ingredients:
•6 cups cinnamon raisin bread cubes (about 8-10 slices)
•4 large eggs
•2 cups of milk
•1 cup heavy cream
•3/4 cup granulated sugar
•1 teaspoon vanilla
•1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•1/2 cup raisins
*directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Place the cinnamon-raisin bread cubes in the prepared baking dish, spreading them evenly.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
4. Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes, making sure that the bread is completely covered. Sprinkle the raisins evenly on top.
5. Let the bread pudding sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the bread is cooked through and the top is golden brown.
7. Let the bread pudding cool for a few minutes before serving. You can serve it warm with a little maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream/ice cream, if desired. Enjoy!
