Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Raisin bread
- 3 medium-sized Croissants
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Raisins
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with the tablespoon of unsalted butter.
Cut the raisin bread and croissants into 1-inch cubes and place them in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the raisins evenly over the bread cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and croissants in the baking dish, ensuring that all pieces are soaked. Gently press the bread down with the back of a spoon so that it absorbs the liquid.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set (a knife inserted into the center should come out clean).
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
