Bread Pudding Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
Prepare the Bread
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the French bread into cubes and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
Combine Ingredients
Pour the wet mixture over the cubed bread and add the raisins. Gently fold everything together until the bread is thoroughly soaked.
Prepare Baking Dish
Grease a baking dish with butter and pour the bread pudding mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
Allow the bread pudding to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
