Bread Pudding Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
Prepare the Bread
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the French bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
Mix the Custard
In another bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
Combine and Soak
Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, making sure all the bread is well coated. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to soak.
Bake the Pudding
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and pour the soaked bread mixture into it. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Prepare the Caramel Sauce
While the bread pudding is baking, prepare the caramel sauce by melting 1 cup of granulated sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until it becomes a deep amber color. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in 1/2 cup of heavy cream until smooth.
Serve
Once the bread pudding is done, let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, drizzled with the house-made caramel sauce.
