Ingredients

• 8 cups day-old bread (such as challah, brioche, or French bread)
• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 0.25 cup maple syrup (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Cut the day-old bread into roughly 1-inch cubes and place them evenly in the prepared baking dish. If using raisins, sprinkle them over the bread.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring that all pieces are thoroughly soaked. Gently press down with a spatula to help the bread absorb the liquid.

Step 5

Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the bread pudding for extra richness.

Step 6

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.

Step 7

Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Dust the top with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup drizzled over each portion.
