Prepare the Bread

Mix the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Combine and Soak
Pour the milk mixture over the bread cubes. If using raisins, sprinkle them over the top. Gently fold the mixture to ensure all bread is soaked. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.
