Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Baking Dish

    Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Bread

    Tear the day-old bread into bite-sized pieces and place them in the greased baking dish.

Mixing the Custard

  1. 4

    Combine Milk and Sugar

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole milk and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  2. 5

    Add Eggs and Flavorings

    Add the eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the milk mixture. Whisk until well combined.

Assembling

  1. 6

    Pour Custard over Bread

    Pour the custard mixture evenly over the torn bread pieces in the baking dish. If using, sprinkle raisins and chopped nuts on top.

  2. 7

    Let It Soak

    Allow the mixture to sit for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the bread to soak up the custard.

Baking

  1. 8

    Bake the Pudding

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

  2. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
