Bread Pudding

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Tear the stale bread into small pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the wet mixture over the bread pieces. Add in the raisins and gently fold to combine. Let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the mixture.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the bread pudding to cool for a few minutes before serving. It can be served warm or at room temperature.
