Dad'S Bread Pudding - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups milk
9 slices soft white bread (crust removed)
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
caramel sauce, for topping (optional)

Preparation

In a mixing bowl whisk the eggs.
Add the salt, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, milk, (and raisins if using) and mix well.
Remove the crust from the bread and gently tear into small pieces (don't squish the bread!).
Add the pieces of bread in to the mixing bowl and fold in until well incorporated and everything is wet.
Pour everything into a greased 8x8 glass baking dish.
Bake at 350 for 1 hour or until set.
Let stand a few minutes and serve warm with caramel sauce or ice cream!
