Soften bread with small amount of milk. Beat sugar and egg yolks. Add
milk, stir well. Add vanilla and salt. Pour milk mixture over bread.
Fold in raisins if used. Cut butter into chunks and fold in. Place
dish in pan of water and bake at 300 degrees for 40-50 minutes, or
until a silver knife inserted comes out clean. Make meringue adding
