  • 2 cups hot milk
  • 1/2 cup raisins

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Pre heat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9 x 9-inch or 8 x 8-inch baking pan and set aside.
  3. Remove and discard crusts from the bread. Cut remaining bread into cubes.
  4. In a mixing bowl, soak bread cubes in the hot milk for 5 to 10 minutes.
  5. Mix the soaked cubes well and then strain off excess milk.
