Bread Pudding Ingredients
Method
Bread Pudding Directions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Bread
Cut the stale bread into cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet mixture over the bread cubes and let it sit for about 15 minutes, allowing the bread to soak up the liquid. If using, fold in the raisins or dried fruit.
Prepare Baking Dish
Grease a baking dish with butter and pour the bread mixture into it, spreading it out evenly.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
Allow the bread pudding to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with optional toppings like whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
