Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with melted butter.
2. Prepare the Bread: Place the cubed stale bread in the greased baking dish. If using, sprinkle raisins over the top.
3. Make the Custard: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
4. Combine: Pour the custard mixture over the bread, pressing down gently to ensure all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Make the Vanilla Sauce: While the pudding is baking, combine the sugar, heavy cream, milk, butter, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is heated through. If you prefer a thicker sauce, dissolve cornstarch in a little cold water and add it to the sauce, stirring until thickened.
7. Serve: Once the bread pudding is done, let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with vanilla sauce drizzled on top.
