Tear the bread into 1-inch pieces and place in a very large bowl.

Whisk to mix.

Stir in the raisins and pecan pieces.

Pour the cream mixture over the bread, and stir to combine.

The spices tend to stick to the bowl, so be sure to scrape all the spices into the bowl of bread too.

Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 1 hour so most of the cream mixture is absorbed by the bread.
-
13
Carefully pour the bread mixture to the buttered baking dish and bake in a 350 F oven until the center of the bread pudding is set, about 1 hour.

Pour into the pan with the cream mixture and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.

Remove from heat and stir in the butter & the pinch of salt.

When the bread pudding is done baking, allow to sit and partially cool, for 10 to 15 minutes.

Plate servings, while warm, and top with warm whiskey sauce.

It's also excellent with a shot of whipped cream (aerosol can type) on top of the whiskey sauce!
