Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups, cubed day-old bread (French or Italian loaf)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup, packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing pan)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt until well combined.
Add the cubed bread to the custard mixture, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let the bread soak for 10-15 minutes.
Pour the bread and custard mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes to cool slightly.
Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar for garnish before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
