Cinnamon Bun Bread Pudding

3 cups milk
6 - 7 cups cubed or torn stale bread
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or more to taste
5 eggs, lightly beaten
(would be good with added raisins but was a huge hit just like this)

Glaze
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon


Combine the milk , sugar, salt, cinnamon, and eggs. Place bread cubes in a bowl; pour over bread. Cool. Pour mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until set. Pour Glaze over top while still warm. (I made a HUGE batch of this and it was still gone by sundown!)
