Soak bread and crusts in water for a few minutes. Squeeze out the water and rub between the hands to make crumbs. Measure without pressing down in the cup.
Combine the bread crumbs, raisins, sugar, salt and spices and mix wtih a fork. Add melted butter, molasses, and soda which has been dissolved in the hot water. Add flour and combine well. Pour mixture into a dampened pudding bag; tie tightly leaving a little slackness to allow for expansion.
Boil for 1 1/2 hours.
