1 loaf (8 cups) challah bread, cut into 1-inch pieces and dried out for about 1 hour
2 1/4 cups milk
14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
12-ounce can evaporated milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 bananas, medium dice
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
9 egg yolks
Vanilla ice cream

Preheat the oven to 375°, and butter a baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the milk, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, sugar, bananas, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt and egg yolks.
Stir in the cubed bread, and mix until well coated.
Pour the custard mixture in the prepared baking dish, and bake on a parchment-lined sheet tray until the custard is set and the bread in middle of dish only slightly jiggles, about 40 minutes. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
Serve the warm bread pudding with the ice cream.
