Press down lightly to submerge the bread in the liquid. Allow the mixture to soak for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 hour) to allow the bread to absorb the custard. (30-60 minutes)

Recipe View Cool and serve: Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker and let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, plain, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

For best results, use slightly stale bread. This will help it absorb the custard better and prevent the bread pudding from becoming soggy.
Feel free to customize the flavor by adding other spices like cinnamon, cardamom, or allspice. You can also substitute other dried fruits for the raisins, such as cranberries, chopped apricots, or dates.
For a richer flavor, use a combination of milk and cream in the custard base.
If you don't have time to soak the bread pudding mixture, you can skip this step, but the texture may be slightly less even.
