Instructions:
Preparation: Warm your oven to 350°F (175°C) and ready a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or a cooking spray.
Bread Setup: Evenly spread the cubed cinnamon raisin bread in the dish.
Mixing the Magic: Blend eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a large bowl until smooth.
Soak: Pour this creamy mix over the bread, ensuring each cube is well-coated. Garnish with raisins.
Marination: Let the bread sit for roughly 10 minutes, absorbing the flavorful liquid.
Baking: Position it in the oven for 45-50 minutes. The goal is a set pudding with a golden-brown charm on top.
Let the pudding rest momentarily post-baking. Serve it warm, maybe with a hint of maple syrup or a generous scoop of whipped cream or ice cream for the indulgent souls. Dive into the warmth, flavor, and nostalgia. Enjoy a bite of the past, with all its sweetness and lessons.
