Eggless Bread Pudding is a delicious and comforting dessert that is perfect for using up leftover bread. Here's a simple recipe you can try:

Ingredients:

• 6 cups cubed bread (stale bread works best)
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3. Pour the melted butter over the bread mixture and stir until well combined.
4. Fold in the raisins, if using.
5. Let the bread mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.

7. Bake the bread pudding for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
8. Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
