Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Day-old bread (such as French or brioche)
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set it aside.
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and place them evenly into the prepared baking dish. If you’re using raisins, sprinkle them over the bread cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until combined.
Add the eggs to the milk mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring that it soaks every piece evenly. Lightly press down on the bread with a spoon or spatula to help it absorb the liquid.
Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes so the bread can fully absorb the custard.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set (a knife inserted in the center should come out clean).
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
If desired, sprinkle powdered sugar over the top before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
