My family loves bread pudding so when I make this recipe, I double it and bake it in a 9x13-inch dish. Made with basic pantry ingredients and some day-old bread (try a rich egg bread or a moist white loaf), this easy recipe can be served for breakfast or dessert with milk poured over top or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
-
6 slices day-old bread, torn into small pieces
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
-
½ cup raisins (Optional)
-
2 cups milk
-
¾ cup white sugar
-
4 large eggs, beaten
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Description
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Place bread pieces into an 8-inch square baking pan. Drizzle melted butter over bread and sprinkle raisins over top.
-
Whisk milk, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla together in a medium mixing bowl until well combined. Pour mixture over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until all bread is covered and soaking up the liquid.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and the top springs back when lightly pressed, about 45 minutes.
