Easy Bread Pudding Recipe
Description
This recipe uses white bread torn into pieces tossed with raisins in a greased baking dish. A custard mixture made from eggs, whole milk, granulated sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and salt is poured over, pressing the bread slightly to absorb the liquid. Baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35-45 minutes results in browned edges and a center that remains plush and tender.
The accompanying Bourbon Cream Sauce is prepared by boiling heavy cream with flour to thicken, then whisking in sugar, bourbon, and salt for a smooth, creamy topping. The sauce adds richness and a gentle warmth from the bourbon, complementing the subtly sweet pudding.
Serving this pudding warm or at room temperature allows the sauce to soak slightly or be poured over freshly plated portions. The texture contrast between crisp edges and soft center is a defining feature of the dish.
Ingredients
- 4 cups white bread torn into pieces
- ½ cup raisins
- 2 large egg
- 1 ½ cups milk whole
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter more to grease the pan, melted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt sea salt
Bourbon Cream Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 ½ tablespoon flour
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- ¾ teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter. Place the torn bread into the baking dish and sprinkle the raisins over the top.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs, whole milk, sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and sea salt. Pour the milk mixture over the bread and lightly press down on the bread with a spatula to make sure the bread is covered with the milk.
- Bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the edges are browned. (The center will still look soft.) Serve warm or at room temperature with the bourbon cream sauce over the top.
Bourbon Cream Sauce
- Put the heavy cream in a small pot and sprinkle with the flour. Whisk until it is combined then bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 1 minute, or until it has thickened. Remove it from the heat and whisk in the sugar, bourbon, and sea salt.
