Description
The Best Bread Pudding: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups of day-old bread, cubed
- 4 cups of whole milk
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of raisins or any dried fruit (optional)
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter.
- Place the cubed bread in a large mixing bowl. If desired, add raisins or other dried fruits.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture over the cubed bread. Stir gently until the bread is fully soaked.
- Allow the mixture to sit for about 15-20 minutes. This helps the bread absorb the liquid.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the soaked bread mixture and stir gently to incorporate.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
- Place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
- If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
