How to Make Pioneer Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cubed stale bread, raisins (if using), and cinnamon (if using).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the milk mixture over the bread mixture, ensuring all the bread is moistened. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
  5. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake for 75 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  7. Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
