Method

Preheat the oven at 180°C. Soak the bread pieces in 1 cup of milk for a few minutes. Grease the bottom and the sides of the baking dish with butter. Pour half of the soaked bread to the baking dish. Sprinkle the raisins over the bread and pour remaining bread mix. Whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla essence and 2 cups of milk in a bowl. Pour the milk mixture over the bread and press down on the bread with a spatula. All the bread pieces should be moistened. Add more milk depends on how soft you want the finished pudding to be. Sprinkle the raisins again on top of the bread. Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes until it rises up. Allow it to cool completely.
