Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups day-old bread (French or brioche)
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
- optional powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick baking spray.
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and place them into the greased baking dish in an even layer.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth and well combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring each piece is well soaked. Gently press the bread down with the back of a spoon to help it absorb the liquid.
Optionally, sprinkle raisins evenly throughout the bread mixture for added sweetness and texture.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the bread pudding for extra richness.
Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of elegance. Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
