Creating Peach Bread Pudding is a simple yet rewarding endeavor. Follow these steps to make your own:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Bread: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread and sliced peaches. Toss them gently to mix.
3. Make the Custard Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
4. Combine: Pour the custard mixture over the bread and peach mixture. Allow it to sit for about 15 minutes, letting the bread soak up the custard.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
6. Add Topping: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar with melted butter. Sprinkle this over the top of the pudding.
7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
8. Cool Down: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving. This will help the pudding firm up a bit.
9. Serve: Cut into squares and serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.

By following these straightforward steps, you will create a Peach Bread Pudding that is both delicious and comforting.
