Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.
Place the cubed bread into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
If using fresh peaches, peel, pit, and slice them into thin wedges. Lightly toss the peach slices into the bowl with the bread cubes.
In another large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and peach slices. Gently press down all the bread to ensure it absorbs the custard. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread and custard mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the bread pudding is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Optional: Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top before serving for added sweetness and presentation.
