Ultimate Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce
Ingredients
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 10 slices hearty farmhouse-style bread, toasted and cut into cubes
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (that's 190 degrees Celsius for those using metric measurements).
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking dish - grease it thoroughly with some cooking spray or butter to prevent the bread pudding from sticking.
3
Now, let's mix together the key ingredients for our bread pudding: milk, sugar, melted butter, eggs, brown sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon. Combine these ingredients in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer or whisk until they're fully incorporated.
4
Add the bread cubes and raisins to the mixture, gently folding them in so they're evenly distributed.
5
Pour the bread pudding mixture into your prepared baking dish, making sure to fill it evenly.
6
Time to put the bread pudding in the oven! Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until it's nicely browned and set in the middle. To prevent excessive browning, cover the dish with foil after 30 minutes.
7
Once the bread pudding is done, let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the bread pudding to cool slightly.
8
While your bread pudding is resting, prepare a delicious vanilla sauce. In a heavy saucepan, whisk together milk, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, flour, cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is smooth.
9
Cook the sauce over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take around 10-12 minutes.
10
Finally, stir in some vanilla extract to give the sauce a hint of flavor.
11
Serve your warm bread pudding with a side of vanilla sauce, or enjoy it on its own - either way is sure to be delicious!
