Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Stale bread (preferably French or brioche)
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar (packed)
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing the crock pot)
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Grease the inside of the crock pot with unsalted butter to prevent the bread pudding from sticking.
Cut the stale bread into 1-inch cubes and place them into the crock pot. If using raisins, scatter them evenly throughout the bread cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until well combined.
Add the milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to the egg mixture. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes in the crock pot, ensuring all pieces are well soaked. Gently press the bread down with a spatula to help it absorb the liquid.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the bread pudding is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once cooked, turn off the crock pot and let the bread pudding rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar on top, or pair with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
