Ingredients
- 8 cups cubed, to about 1”, bolillo rolls (about 3-4 large rolls) or use French bread
- 1 cup shredded Oaxaca cheese or use a melty white cheese like mozzarella or Monterey Jack
- ½ cup golden raisins
- ½ cup regular raisins
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 ounce piloncillo cone
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick baking spray or butter.
- Add the cubed bread, shredded cheese, golden raisins, raisins, and sliced almonds to the baking dish, and stir them gently to combine.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, piloncillo, cinnamon, and cloves. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until the piloncillo is melted.
- Pour the milk mixture very evenly over the bread cubes and cheese. Use a spatula to gently press the bread down so that the milk evenly covers the bread.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread pudding is set and the top is golden brown. Check the capirotada after 15 minutes. If it is browning too quickly, cover it with foil for the last 20 minutes.
Notes
- If desired, place the bread cubes on a rimmed baking sheet and toast them in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes before proceeding with Step 2 in the Instructions. This will dry the bread out a bit and give some additional texture to the bread pudding. If you like a very soft bread pudding, definitely skip this optional step.
