2. Combine Ingredients: Once the bread and milk mixture has cooled, add the butter, sugar, eggs, salt, dried cranberries, and ground cinnamon. Stir everything together until well combined. The cranberries will add a pleasant burst of tartness that contrasts beautifully with the sweet and creamy pudding.

3. Bake the Pudding: Transfer the mixture into a buttered 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about one hour. The pudding should be set and golden brown on top when it’s done.

4. Make the Vanilla Sauce: While the bread pudding is baking, prepare the vanilla sauce. Cook the vanilla pudding mix according to the directions on the box. Once cooked, pour the warm vanilla pudding over the baked bread pudding.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the bread pudding warm, with the creamy vanilla sauce drizzled on top. It’s perfect as a comforting dessert for any occasion.
