2. Tear the bread into large chunks and place in a large bowl. Pour the milk over the bread and allow it to soak until the milk has completely absorbed (about 30 minutes).

3. Combine the eggs, sugar, and vanilla and beat well.

4. Fold the egg mixture thoroughly into the soaked bread. Stire in the Fruits.

5. Grease a 9” × 13” baking pan with melted butter. Pour in the bread mixture, spreading it evenly. Bake until the budding is brown and firm (about 30 minutes).

The recipe starts with a loaf of crusty bread broken into large chunks.

Here we have the bread pudding after coming out of the oven. The milk-soaked bread was covered in the egg/sugar/vanilla/rasin mixture prior to baking.
