Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend or alternate baking spice
- 2 cups milk regular or plant-based
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 cups stale bread cubes about 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 Tablespoon melted butter
- 2 Tablespoons turbinado sugar
- 1 cup Add-ins of choice optional
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Whisk until frothy then add the sugar, spices, vanilla and milk. Whisk to combine.
- Tumble in the bread cubes and use two forks to toss it until fully coated in the egg mixture. Press the bread down to submerge it, adding a splash more milk if needed.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Chill the bread cubes for an hour or up to overnight. This helps it to absorb the custard base. If you're using a fluffy enriched bread (like brioche) you can skip the soak.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Generously butter a 9-inch square baking dish.
- Remove the soaking bread from the fridge. This is when you can add in any extra ingredients such as berries, chocolate chips, nuts or dried fruit. Stir to combine.
- Transfer the soaked bread cubes to the baking pan. Press down gently into the pan. Brush the top of the bread cubes with melted butter. Sprinkle with Turbinado sugar.
- Bake the bread pudding for around 40 minutes. It will puff slightly, and be golden on the top. If you have a thermometer, the interior should measure 160℉.
- Cool slightly, then scoop into shallow bowls and serve warm. Best enjoyed with a drizzle of caramel sauce or dollop of soft whipped cream.
