Food historians say that bread pudding can be traced back to the early 11th and 12th centuries. Not surprisingly, it started as a way for frugal cooks to use up leftover bread.

And what a great way to use a stale loaf of bread! Cut it up, toss it with a rich, eggy custard, and bake it low and slow until it becomes a warm, velvety pudding. Yummy.

I like mine with a dollop of whipped cream. You might enjoy a scoop of ice cream. Either way, you're gonna love it!

How to Make Slow Cooker Bread Pudding

Generously coat the inside of a small slow cooker with either butter or non-stick spray. Cut the bread into approximately 1-inch cubes.

Bread cubes and raisins in a slow cooker.

Place the cubed bread and raisins in the slow cooker.

Milk, eggs, sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt in a bowl with a whisk.

In a medium bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt until very well combined.

Pouring milk mixture over bread cubes and raisins in the slow cooker.

Pour the liquid mixture over the bread cubes and raisins. Toss so that everything is evenly coated.

Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes and toss again to make sure the custard mixture is evenly distributed.

Cover and cook on low setting 2 ½ to 3 hours or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. You'll want to check at about 2 hours to see how it's doing. Some slow cookers cook hotter than others. Those things just don't have any specific temperature settings. Low on one may be totally different from the low setting on another.

Serve warm with a drizzle of cream, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Leftovers reheat very nicely.
