Method

Bread Pudding Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare Bread

    Cut the stale bread into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture over the bread cubes. Gently stir until all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Transfer to Baking Dish

    Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and pour the soaked bread mixture into it evenly.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Brown Sugar Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Cook Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly.

  2. 8

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
