Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Day-old bread (such as brioche or challah), cubed
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Amaretto liqueur
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.
Place the cubed bread in a large mixing bowl. Set it aside.
In another large bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, amaretto liqueur, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes. Gently mix to ensure all the bread cubes are soaked in the custard. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to absorb the liquid.
Transfer the bread and custard mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving warm. You may also pair it with whipped cream or a drizzle of amaretto sauce for extra indulgence.
