Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups day-old bread (such as brioche, challah, or French bread)
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- optional: powdered sugar, for serving
- optional: extra maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cubed bread, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure all the bread pieces soak in the custard mixture. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to absorb fully.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the pudding for added richness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 10 minutes before serving. For an extra touch of sweetness, dust the top with powdered sugar or drizzle with additional maple syrup if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting, creamy dessert!
