Ingredients

• 6 cups Day-old bread (such as French or brioche)
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 4 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set it aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the eggs to the milk mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring that it soaks every piece evenly. Lightly press down on the bread with a spoon or spatula to help it absorb the liquid.

Step 6

Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes so the bread can fully absorb the custard.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set (a knife inserted in the center should come out clean).

Step 8

Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle powdered sugar over the top before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
