Bread Pudding Ingredients

Method

Bread Pudding Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Tear the stale bread into small pieces and place it in a large mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Make the Custard

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the custard mixture over the torn bread and gently mix. Add in the raisins and melted butter, stirring until well combined.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pudding

    Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
