Bread Pudding Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the brioche bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Make the Custard Mixture

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

  3. 3

    Combine Bread and Custard

    Pour the custard mixture over the brioche cubes. Gently fold the mixture to ensure all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb.

  4. 4

    Add Caramel Sauce

    Drizzle half of the caramel sauce into the bread mixture and fold gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pudding

    Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Allow the bread pudding to cool slightly before serving. Top with remaining caramel sauce and serve with vanilla bean gelato.
