Ingredients

2 cups half-and-half
8 large eggs
1.25 cups white sugar
1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp raisins
0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
0.25 tsp vanilla extract
1 loaf white bread, torn into large chunks
1 stick butter
0.5 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 10x12-inch baking pan.

2

In a bowl, mix together half-and-half, eggs, sugar, heavy cream, raisins, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.

3

Arrange bread chunks in the prepared pan. Pour the custard mixture over the bread and let it soak for 10-15 minutes.

4

Place the baking pan into a larger one. Fill the larger pan with boiling water up to halfway of the smaller pan's height.

5

Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 60-75 minutes.

6

Meanwhile, melt butter in a small skillet over low heat. Transfer into a small bowl and add confectioners' sugar. Mix well.

7

Once the bread pudding is done, poke some holes on its surface with a butter knife. Pour the butter sauce all over the top.
