🍞 Simple & Delicious Classic Bread Pudding (Perfect for Stale Bread!)

👨‍🍳 Instructions (Step-by-Step)

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F.
2. Cut the stale bread into medium pieces and add them to your baking dish.
3. In a bowl, whisk together: eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Pour the melted butter over the bread pieces.
5. Slowly pour the custard mixture over the bread, pressing down gently so it absorbs the liquid.
6. Let it rest for 10 minutes so the bread soaks properly.
7. Add raisins, apples, or chocolate if you like.
8. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set.
9. Let cool slightly and serve warm with powdered sugar, caramel sauce, or ice cream!
