Method

Preparation of Bread Pudding

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Cut the day-old bread into cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Mix the Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the wet mixture over the bread cubes and gently fold to ensure all the bread is soaked. Let sit for about 10 minutes to absorb.

  5. 5

    Transfer to Baking Dish

    Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Pour the bread mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly.

  6. 6

    Bake the Bread Pudding

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve Warm

    Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly. Cut into squares and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired.
