Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Bread Pudding
Place cut bread on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until dry. Remove from oven and let cool.
In a large bowl, whisk milk, eggs, sugar, bourbon, molasses, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon. Fold in bread pieces until all pieces are moist. Pour mixture into baking dish, and press bread into dish with your mixing spoon or spatula, ensuring bread is covered with milk mixture. Cover and let set aside for 30 minutes.
Uncover and bake for about 55 minutes or until golden brown and the bread puffs. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean. Let stand for 30 minutes.
Pecan Sauce
In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, bourbon, water, and salt. On medium heat, bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in pecans. Serve over bread pudding warm.
