Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with the butter.
- Toast the bread cubes on a baking sheet until they start to dry and harden, about 20 minutes. Set aside. Raise the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
- Whisk together the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, whole eggs and yolks in a large bowl. Add the bread to the bowl and stir until completely coated. Cover and let soak for about 30 minutes, pushing the bread down occasionally so that all the cubes are soaked. Meanwhile, pour hot water over the raisins, if using, and soak for 10 minutes. Once plumped, drain the raisins, add to the bowl of bread and gently toss.
- Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake until the custard is set and the top is golden brown, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, at room temperature or cold.
THE BEST BREAD PUDDING
Toasting the challah adds flavor, but more importantly, it helps the cubes to soak up and hold onto more of the deliciously rich custard (a high ratio of cream to milk makes it that way). And if that wasn't enough, we use not 1 but 2 vanilla beans to amp up the custard - plain old extract just doesn't do it justice. For a pleasing textural contrast, we top the pudding with turbinado sugar before baking to get a sweet crunch with every bite.

We found this recipe tucked inside my mom's Bible when going through her things.

SIMPLY THE BEST BREAD PUDDING
This is by far the easiest and most delicious bread pudding I have ever encountered. People swoon at the first bite and beg me for the recipe. The quality of your ingredients is crucial to the success of this recipe. Be sure to use a good, bakery-quality Challah bread, and do not make low-fat substitutions for the milk and cream. If you cannot find Challah, substitute it with another slightly-sweet egg bread, like Hawaiian bread. Use only homemade or bakery bread.

BEET BREAD PUDDING
You want to use stale rye bread for this. If you haven't any, just toast or bake and let cool. Roasted beets make everything sweeter and nuttier. Unusual, yet tasty. It's both sweet and savory; good for those times when you want dessert for dinner. Prep time does not include roasting the beets or making the bread stale. Do both of those yesterday. Prep time does include the part where you let the bread soak. Whisk the eggs, grate the beets and have a drink while that's happening. Adapted from Sheila Lukins' Around the World Cookbook. She translated the recipe from a Cyrillic recipe card.
