Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Day-old bread (preferably brioche or challah)
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 Large eggs
- 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the tablespoon of butter and set aside.
Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, gently pressing down with the back of a spoon to ensure that all the bread pieces absorb the mixture.
Let the bread mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes, allowing it to fully soak in the custard.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm on its own or with a drizzle of caramel sauce, maple syrup, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
