Creating Donut Bread Pudding is a simple and enjoyable process. Follow these steps to make your own delicious pudding:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare Donuts: Cut the donuts into bite-sized pieces and place them evenly in the greased baking dish.
3. Mix Custard: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
4. Combine: Pour the custard mixture over the donut pieces, ensuring all pieces are soaked evenly. Press down gently to submerge any floating pieces.
5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown on top.
6. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the pudding to firm up slightly.
7. Serve: Cut into squares and serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar and topped with whipped cream if desired.

This straightforward approach will guide you in creating a delightful Donut Bread Pudding that is sure to impress!
