Creating Simple Egg Free Bread Pudding is an enjoyable process. Follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or margarine.
2. Prepare Bread: Place the cubed stale bread in a large bowl. If you don’t have stale bread, you can toast fresh bread for a few minutes to dry it out.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, granulated sugar, applesauce, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the cubed bread. Gently stir until the bread is fully soaked.
5. Add Raisins: If you’re using raisins, fold them into the mixture now. This adds a delightful sweetness and texture.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the bread pudding cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll create a delightful dessert that everyone will love.
