- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Budin de Pan:

- In another bowl, whisk together the whole milk, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Pour the milk mixture over the torn bread and let it soak for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the liquid.

- Transfer the soaked bread mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and has a golden brown top.
