Warm Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding

1. Prepare the Bread:

– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

– Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

– Place the cubed cinnamon raisin bread in the prepared baking dish. If desired, sprinkle additional raisins over the top.

2. Make the Custard:

– In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.

– Slowly pour the melted butter into the mixture, whisking constantly to incorporate.

3. Assemble and Bake:

– Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down gently to ensure all the bread is soaked.

– Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.

– Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.

4. Serve:

– Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

– Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
