Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Bread
Tear the stale bread into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl.
Soak the Bread
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Pour this mixture over the bread pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
Combining Ingredients
Add Optional Ingredients
If using, fold in the raisins, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips into the soaked bread mixture.
Baking
Prepare the Baking Dish
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.
Transfer Mixture to Dish
Pour the soaked bread mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Prepare Topping
In a small bowl, mix together the butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the bread pudding.
Bake the Bread Pudding
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set in the center.
Serving
Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a drizzle of cream or ice cream.
