Bread Pudding
Bread Pudding combines slightly dried thick-sliced bread cubes soaked in a spiced custard of eggs, half-and-half, brown and granulated sugars, and vanilla. Raisins add texture and a touch of sweetness, while melted butter drizzled on top helps brown the surface during baking. The warm pudding is finished with a brown sugar caramel sauce made from brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream. This comforting dessert offers a moist, tender texture with a rich caramel finish and can be served warm for best enjoyment.

Ingredients
For the Bread Pudding
- 10 lices bread stale or slightly dried, thick-sliced
- 3 large egg
- 1 ¾ cups half and half or light cream
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
For the Sauce
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter an 8-inch baking dish.
- Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes. If the bread is fresh, place it on a baking sheet and bake for 4 to 6 minutes (or until slightly dried). Cool completely.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk together eggs, cream, sugars, vanilla, and cinnamon.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bread. Add raisins and toss lightly with your hands. Transfer the bread mixture to the prepared baking dish. Drizzle butter over top.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Meanwhile, for the sauce, combine the brown sugar and butter in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat while whisking and let boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in heavy cream. Allow to cool slightly.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce over the baked bread pudding and serve warm.
