Carefully pour the custard mixture over the bread and raspberries in the baking dish, ensuring all the bread cubes are thoroughly soaked. Gently press down on the bread with a spatula to help it absorb the custard. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar evenly over the top.

Let the bread pudding sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes) to allow the bread to fully absorb the custard. This step is crucial for a tender, moist pudding.
