  3. Add the bread cubes and raisins to the bowl and stir until the bread is fully coated in the milk mixture.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

Use stale bread as it absorbs the custard mixture better.
Dried fruit like raisins or cranberries can be added to the mixture for a sweet and tangy taste.
If you don't have time to let the bread pudding mixture sit for 30 minutes, let it sit for at least 10-15 minutes to ensure the bread soaks up the liquid mixture evenly.
If you prefer a firmer bread pudding, use less milk or add more bread to the mixture.
