Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 8x8 inch baking dish.
  2. Cut or tear the bread into small cubes and place in the baking dish. Sprinkle raisins over the bread.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, rum (if using), and salt.
  4. Pour the liquid mixture over the bread, ensuring all bread pieces are well-soaked. Let it sit for a few minutes to absorb.
  5. Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
