Ingredients

6 slices day-old bread, torn into small pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
0.5 cup raisins
2 cups milk
0.75 cup white sugar
4 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Then, gather all the necessary ingredients to begin crafting your bread pudding.
Arrange the bread pieces in an 8-inch square baking dish. Evenly drizzle melted butter over the bread, then sprinkle raisins generously over the top.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread, then gently press down with a fork until all the bread is submerged and soaking in the liquid.
Bake in the preheated oven until the bread pudding turns a beautiful golden brown and the top springs back lightly when touched, approximately 45 minutes.
