Description
Create a delightful classic bread pudding with this easy recipe that combines cubed bread, eggs, milk, and a hint of cinnamon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups cubed stale bread (French bread, brioche, or challah)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
- Butter (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
- Prepare the Bread: Place the cubed stale bread in a large bowl. If desired, add raisins or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the cubed bread. Gently toss until all the bread is well coated and has absorbed the liquid.
- Let it Soak: Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes to let the bread soak up the custard.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
