Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
In a large bowl, combine the cubed stale bread and any optional ingredients like raisins or chocolate chips.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well blended.
Pour the wet mixture over the cubed bread, ensuring every piece is soaked. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb.
Pour the soaked bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the pudding is set and lightly browned on top.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
While the pudding cools, whisk together 1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract in a saucepan. Heat over medium until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
Drizzle the vanilla sauce over the warm bread pudding before serving.
