Bread Pudding

Bread Pudding
Ingredients:
4 cups of bread cubes, cut into bite sized pieces 
3 eggs (medium)
1/2 cup+ 2 tbsp granulated white sugar, adjust to taste
2 cups of milk (I have used 11/2 cups of milk + 1/2 cup whipped cream)
1-2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled 
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder (optional)
1/4 tsp vanilla essence 
Method:
Preheat oven to 150 degrees C (300 degrees F) and place rack in the center of oven.
Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Place the bread cubes in the baking dish. You can add nuts or fruits of your choice at this point. 
In a mixer beat together sugar and eggs until it is light lemon colour. 
Beat in the vanilla essence and cinnamon powder. 
Now beat in the milk and butter.
Gently pour the prepared custard over the bread cubes. With a back of a spoon press down the bread cubes to ensure they are fully covered with the custard. 
I have also garnished the bread pudding with dried strawberries. You can even use almonds for garnishing.
Place the baking dish in oven and bake for about 1 hr or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean.
Bread pudding is ready to serve. You can serve it hot or cold.
Note:
If you are using stale bread, leave the bread dipped in the custard for around half an hour and then bake.
