1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Cut the Hawaiian and Italian bread into squares.

Place the cut bread into the oven to dry out and harden, making it stale.

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in the microwave and let it cool.

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of milk and 2 cups of heavy whipping cream.

6

Add a pinch of nutmeg, a generous amount of cinnamon, and 2 pinches of salt to the milk and cream mixture.

7

Add 4 large eggs and 1.5 cups of white granulated sugar to the mixture and whisk until well combined.

8

Once the butter has cooled, add it to the custard mixture and stir.

9

Place the dried bread into a 9x13 baking dish and pour the custard mixture over the bread, ensuring all pieces are soaked.

10

Sprinkle raisins over the top of the bread mixture, adding more if desired, and reserve some for decoration.

11

Let the bread soak in the custard for a while, or overnight if preferred.
