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 cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If using, mix in the raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts with the bread cubes.

Mixing the Custard

  1. 4

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  2. 5

    Pour Custard Over Bread

    Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the mixture.

Baking

    Transfer to Baking Dish

    Pour the soaked bread mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.

  2. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Serving

  1. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Let the bread pudding cool for about 10 minutes before serving. You can serve it warm or at room temperature, optionally with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
