Follow these straightforward steps to create the incredible Very Berry Bread Pudding:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the Bread: In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread and mixed berries. Gently toss to distribute the berries evenly throughout the bread.
3. Make the Custard: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the custard mixture over the bread and berry combination. Allow it to sit for about 15 minutes to soak, stirring occasionally to ensure all the bread absorbs the liquid.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Carefully pour the soaked bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help the pudding firm up slightly.
8. Dust with Powdered Sugar: If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
