Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 cups (cubed, day-old) Challah bread
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon (for greasing pan) Butter
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup (optional, for serving) Maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.
Cut the challah bread into 1-inch cubes if not already prepared, and spread the cubes evenly across the prepared baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, heavy cream, eggs, 1/2 cup maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the pumpkin custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing the bread gently with a spatula to ensure the liquid is absorbed. Let stand for 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar and drizzle with additional maple syrup before serving.
