Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, whole milk, heavy cream, and bourbon until smooth.
Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Whisk until well combined.
Grease the inside of a crock pot with butter to prevent sticking.
Place the bread cubes into the crock pot, spreading them out evenly.
Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all pieces are coated. Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the liquid.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low heat for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the bread pudding is set and the top is golden brown. Check occasionally during the last 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Once cooked, turn off the crock pot and let the bread pudding rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar and a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
