Ingredients:
- 7-8 cups bread cubes
- 4 cups whole milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla essence
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- ½ cup raisins (optional)
- ¼ cup butter melted
Directions:
- Place bread and raisins in a slow cooker.
- Mix in bowl: milk, eggs, butter, sugar and vanilla essence together and pour over bread and raisins.
- Gently toss the mixture to evenly coat the bread. Avoid using a spoon; it might crush the bread.

TIP: You can check by poking the bread with a knife; it will come out clean when the pudding is done. If your knife comes out with the mixture on it that leave the pudding for another half hour in the slow cooker.
