Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Day-old bread (French or brioche, cubed)
- 1.5 cups Pumpkin puree
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until smooth.
Add the cubed bread to the bowl and gently fold it into the pumpkin mixture, ensuring that all the bread pieces are soaked in the custard.
Transfer the bread mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to fully absorb the custard.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with whipped cream, ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce, if desired.
