I love bread pudding and this has to be the one recipe that brings me so much comfort. I don't use a lot of raisins because I am not a huge fan but you could put more if you'd like. This is also great served with vanilla bean ice cream.

This homestyle bread pudding is a decadent and comforting dessert. With hints of cinnamon and vanilla flavor, we loved the pops of sweetness from the raisins. Drizzling the custard sauce takes it over the top. It soaks into the custardy bread pudding and makes this dessert even richer.
