Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups (cubed) Day-old bread (French bread or brioche)
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup (packed) Brown sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons (melted) Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup (optional) Raisins
- 0.5 cup (for topping) Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Place the cubed bread into a large mixing bowl. If desired, add raisins evenly throughout the bread cubes.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes. Gently stir to ensure all the bread pieces are coated and start to absorb the liquid. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to soak.
Transfer the soaked bread mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Drizzle the melted butter over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Drizzle warm caramel sauce over each portion before serving, or serve on the side for guests to add as desired.
