Ingredients
5 slices Whole wheat bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons Butter or margarine
¼ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
⅓ cup Granulated sugar
½ cup Raisins
3 Large eggs
1½ cups Non-fat (skim) milk
¼ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the whole wheat bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a 9-inch baking dish. You should have about 5 cups of bread cubes.
Scatter the raisins over the bread cubes and set the baking dish aside.
In a small bowl, melt the butter or margarine. Mix in the cinnamon and sugar until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, non-fat milk, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Pour the melted butter mixture into the egg mixture and stir gently to combine.
Pour the combined custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes and raisins. Gently press the bread down so it absorbs the liquid. Let it soak for 5-10 minutes before baking.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, until the pudding is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. The eggs will reach a safe temperature of 160°F (71°C) when fully cooked.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
