Ingredients

• 8 cups, cubed Bread (preferably brioche or challah)
• 6 large Eggs
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 0 Maple syrup (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the cubed bread in the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes in the baking dish. Gently press down on the bread with the back of a spoon or a spatula to ensure it absorbs the liquid.

Step 5

Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes.

Step 7

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for another 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Dust the top with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup, if desired.
