Bread Pudding

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Raisins

    In a small bowl, combine the raisins and marsala wine. Allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the stale bread into cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Make the Custard Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and the seeds scraped from the vanilla bean.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes. Add the soaked raisins (along with the marsala) and gently stir to combine. Let it sit for 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pudding

    Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter. Pour the bread mixture into the dish and bake for 45-55 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. Top with house-made gelato and drizzle with dulce de leche.
