Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups, cubed day-old bread (preferably brioche or challah)
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 3 tablespoons dark rum
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the raisins and dark rum. Let the raisins soak for 10 minutes to plump up.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth and well combined.
Add the cubed bread to the egg mixture and gently toss to coat. Let the bread soak for about 5-10 minutes until it absorbs some of the liquid.
Fold in the crushed pineapple and the soaked raisins (along with any remaining rum). Mix gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set in the center.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
