Creating Cinnamon Bread Pudding is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large baking dish with butter.
2. Prepare Bread: In a large bowl, combine the cubed stale bread and set aside.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the cubed bread. Gently stir to ensure all the bread is soaked.
5. Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, fold in raisins or nuts for added texture and flavor.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown on top.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
