Directions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Lightly butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Add the cubed bread to the egg mixture, pressing down gently to ensure all pieces are soaked. Let sit for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bread has absorbed most of the liquid.

Gently fold in the fresh berries, being careful not to crush them too much. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the top of the bread pudding.

Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown on top. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
