Ingredients

• 6 cups (cubed) Day-old bread (preferably brioche, challah, or white bread)
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing the baking dish)
• 0.5 cup Optional: Raisins or chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Optional: Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter.

Step 2

Arrange the cubed bread evenly in the prepared baking dish. If using raisins or chocolate chips, sprinkle them between the bread cubes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Press the bread down gently with a spoon or your hands so the liquid absorbs fully.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 7

Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a dollop of whipped cream.
