Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Cut the stale bread into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Mixing Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  2. 4

    Combine with Bread

    Pour the wet mixture over the bread cubes, gently folding to ensure all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb.

Baking

  1. 5

    Transfer to Baking Dish

    Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray, then transfer the soaked bread mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.

  2. 6

    Bake

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

Serving

  1. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the bread pudding to cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream and fresh berries, if desired.
