Ingredients
  

6 large cinnamon rolls (day-old or stale work best)

2 cups whole milk

1 cup heavy cream

4 large eggs

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

1/2 cup raisins or chopped pecans (optional)

Whipped cream or icing, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls: Tear the cinnamon rolls into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. If they’re too soft, you can lightly toast them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5-10 minutes to firm them up.

    Make the Custard Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

      Combine Ingredients: Pour the custard mixture over the torn cinnamon roll pieces. If using raisins or chopped pecans, sprinkle them into the mixture now. Gently fold everything together until the cinnamon rolls are well coated with the custard.

        Let it Soak: Allow the mixture to sit for about 30 minutes, giving the bread a chance to soak up the custard. If time permits, refrigerate it for a couple of hours or overnight for deeper flavors.

          Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the mixture soaks.

            Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9x13 inch (or equivalent) baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Pour the soaked cinnamon roll mixture into the baking dish, spreading it evenly.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, let the bread pudding cool for about 10-15 minutes. Serve warm, drizzled with whipped cream or icing. Enjoy!
