Tips:

Use a good quality bread for the strata. A sturdy bread, such as a French baguette or sourdough, will hold up well in the custard and won't get soggy.
If you don't have time to make the custard the night before, you can make it in the morning and let it cool completely before assembling the strata.
Be sure to soak the raisins in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using them. This will help to plump them up and make them more flavorful.
If you don't have any cinnamon on hand, you can substitute another spice, such as nutmeg or allspice.
Serve the strata warm or at room temperature. It's also delicious the next day, so it's a great make-ahead breakfast or brunch dish.

Conclusion:

Raisin cinnamon strata is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a crowd, and it's also a great way to use up leftover bread. With its sweet and cinnamony flavor, this strata is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
