Combine Ingredients
Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes and gently fold in the raisins if using. Let it sit for about 15 minutes, allowing the bread to soak up the custard.

Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
