Bread Pudding Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the day-old bread into cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Mix the Custard

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Bread and Custard

    Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the liquid.

  4. 4

    Bake the Bread Pudding

    Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted comes out clean.

  5. 5

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of local Madagascar vanilla bean ice cream on top.
