"This bread pudding should be baked in a water bath, for a fluffier pudding texture. Use a whole 1 pound sandwich bread for this (about 8-9 cups). The raisins are optional but good to add in, can add in chopped walnuts too."

In a large bowl whisk together eggs, half and half, whipping cream, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt until well combined.
Stir in the bread crumbs, and toss until well coated; let stand for 5-6 minutes to absorb the cream.
