2 cups raisins

2 frozen bread loaves, thawed but not risen

1/2 cup (1 stick butter)

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 (4 1/2 oz) box vanilla pudding (not instant)

2 Tbsp milk

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Grease 9x13 baking pan. Sprinkle the raisins into the pan. Cut 1 loaf of bread into 2-inch squares and place the pieces on top of the raisins. In a small saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Add the pudding mix, milk, and cinnamon. Cook for a few minutes until heated through. Pour the pudding mixture over the bread. Cut the remaining loaf of bread into 2-inch squares and place over pudding mixture. Let the bread sit at room temperature for 2 1/2 - 3 hours to rise.

When risen preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake for 30 minutes.

Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes.

While they are still hot, turn the pan upside down onto a tray to remove.
