In a large bowl, place bread cubes. Pour milk over the bread and leave set for at least 5 minutes, making sure all bread is saturated. I then toss in the raisins and pecans.

  • 3. Pour bread mixture into dish with melted butter. Spread evenly.
  • 4. Bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until puffy and firm.

  • 6. Serve sauce over warm bread pudding. Delicious!
